Hello, I just bought a used 2003/2004 P-Bass and the strings do not go through the body into the bridge, they just slide in through the back of the bridge. The neck is definitely USA made however any pictures I've seen online of this year model show the strings going in through the back of the guitar body. Did they make models like this or could this guitar have a different body installed? There are no holes drilled in the body for the strings to go through. Any info is appreciated, thanks!

Did the neck has Posiflex graphite neck reinforcements?

If not, then it's a pre-2006 Highway One model.

I will check that tonight. I ran the serial number on a website and it said the following:

Corona Plant (Fender), USA
in the Year(s): 2003 - 2004

While I was told it is all original it is possible that the USA neck may have been put on a different body. Here is a link to some pics:

Looks like it is an older Highway 1 p-bass, this is the identical guitar:
