Thinner than an Ibanez wizard even. http://www.mosesgraphite.com/cgi-bin/moses...7S?r3w9FybQ;;17 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The bridge is a six point which points to a mexican for my money, the plates on the back saying custom Shop can be bought seperatley so thats not really an indication, is that a roller nut on there too? Weird! I think its a tweaked Mexi, but the serial number will tell you for sure! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I think its a tweaked Mexi, but the serial number will tell you for sure! That's an after-market neck with a 'Fender' decal added (which is also why there's no Serial Number up there), I recognise that little Logo on the back of the Headstock but can't recall which company it is!! You're right about that Neck Plate being a replacement one! Having said that, for $40 you can't go wrong anyway!!! Next time you replace the strings unscrew the neck and see if there's any markings in the Neck Socket, or maybe underneath the Pickguard!!!! You should be able to find a 'thinner' replacement neck from companies like Warmoth, Mightymite, Lindo etc! There are plenty of Aftermarket Parts suppliers!!!

Have fun with it, and perhaps you can take it to some strat expert to check it out, and really see where this guitar comes from. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
