Fender Retread Been there and Did it Better Series

Well there are several things that make me doubt the origin of this neck. I need shots of the heel and areas that go in the pocket.

I am doubtful of the veracity of that neck.

Both. Just saying.

You all missed why, they were looking for more than 10 pages on Strat Talk, and were successful. The fact that it lightened up the weight of the guitar was a secondary benefit.

I am surprised that no other smartass has not posted this yet:

A thing of beauty. HNGD

I have an original directional Fender Coily cord, and then I purchased the shorter more tightly wound one that was standard with Eric Johnson strats. They have a place, and I do notice they do cut a little high end brittleness.

You must be clay dot obsessed?

Just so you know I have searched the web and found a 2008 Catalog and here is the page showing THIN SKIN for the 57 and thin for 62, So apparently Fender did not know either.

Not misleading.. perhaps misunderstood. So I have both a 62 hotrod and several and at one time 1 of each model, in each color made of the teles and the strats. In fact I had 5 of the 1 of 46 runs for both the tele and the strat. That said I have no idea if there is poly under the Hot Rod...

The 62s were listed a thin skinned, but no indication if nitro underneath or not.

Well hung as well.

From what I read the 12-52 is about right but they had a wound third so thus the raised pole on the G string. In addition I read that Nickel was the majority of old strings.

Well Clapton's Black and brown sunburst guitars were both partscasters.

I don't think OSHA will allow shirtless men and streetwear women to work in the factory without proper safety gear. No spray booths and band saws without hand protection.

HHH with a Floyd Rose of course.

Much better than checking after you spent way too much for a counterfeit. Not a good fake either.

I am so very sorry, I should have said in Strats the 62 Hot Rod was the neck I was thinking about.

BTW the original Hot Rod series had a flatter neck medium jumbo frets and a huge neck, single coils with rw middle.

Yes you are confused/mistaken. CS will do a time machine model with your choice of age/relic treatment.

Generally when I am looking for the opinion of those who know, I disregard those in a forum directly focused upon the item at hand. In fact I look to random people who as far as I know have absolutely no knowledge about guitars. In fact I would trust them implicitly and ask their advice solely...

I don't know about the guitar but that knuckle in the second toe looks broken. I would have that looked at.
