Hi All, in advance.. thanks for any help you can give me.

So I bought recently bought a Jazzmaster. I bought it for the body, which is a 1964 original (refinished). Most of the other parts are from U.S re-issue jazzmasters. The guitar plays beautifully, no issues.

The previous owner stated the neck was a U.S re-issue jazzmaster neck from 2009. I have reason to believe this might be a fake neck. Not that it matters much, i bought the guitar for the body and other original parts, but either way I would to find out if this neck is a fake before i attempt to resell it.

what makes me think it's a fake ?
1. The headstock decal is the newer 68-76 decal. I haven't seen any Fender jazzmaster AVRIs with the new jazzmaster decal/logo. the AVRI's only have the original logos. The decal seems to be legit, under the finish, and good quality.

2. The serial number on the back of the headstock does not match ANY documented fender serial formats.
The serial says: US14094662 w/ "MADE IN U.S.A" underneath it.


Here are some pictures. If anyone has any insight or comments, i would love to hear them! thanks!

p.s. ignore the stain and wirebrushing on the neck and headstock, it was intentionally done to mimic a relic'd/aged look. Also, i have NOT removed the neck yet to check the heel.

oops! finally found it. Seems legit.

It came from a 2013/2014 American Jazzmaster Special. So 'special' that they seemed to have sold out pretty quickly and aren't available for purchase anymore.

I never knew these existed outside of the '62 AVRI's.
