Fender Strat

Up for auction (my first sale) is a 1997 Fender Custom Shop Relic Strat Neck.  I am the original owner of the neck and the guitar that it is from.  The neck features a slight birdseye figuring, dark rosewood slab fingerboard, 9.5" radius, mid-60s "C" shape, and vintage style frets.

The neck date is marked "4-23-97", which is during the Vince Cunetto relic era.  The neck is also stamped "John Cruz", who is currently the most popular Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop.  The headstock has the Custom Shop Logo pressed into the wood (as opposed to a decal).  This is correct for Relics produced during this time period.

This neck comes from my main guitar of ten years.  It is in good condition, and has a very high build quality.  There is a cigarette burn mark on the headstock (non-original, between the 3rd and 4th tuner hole).  The frets have some mileage on them, but a decent amount of life left.  There are some indentations and divets on some of the frets.  I never noticed them while playing, however, depending on your playing style this may or may not be an issue.

I am an American currently living in Tokyo, Japan.  Shipping for this neck is $30.00 to the United States, and $40.00 to Canada or Western Europe (excluding Italy).  $15.00 for domestic Japan shipping.  If your country or region is not listed, please contact me before bidding.
