I just received this Fender Mustang body from a reputable seller online. He told me it was a '65. It had the vintage white pearl pickguard on it when I got it. I figured it was Dakota Red originally when I first saw it... It had the finish stripped and the wood was stained! But when I decided to take some Jasco to the guitar I found Daphne Blue paint over white primer. I was taken back! Then, I found this little stamp that seemed to be a 5 surrounded by a circle. Take a look. I am not sure what it is...

Hard to actually KNOW..looks like it "could" be an inspection stamp.....earlier version of the below stamp perhaps.......but I don't KNOW)
are you stumped as well or is it just us?
Cheers!,

I was actually trying to challenge everyone into giving me their best honest answer... Thank you! I guess it worked. The next riddle will be where can I find a neck and tuners that won't break the bank!
