Fender Bolt on Neck Question

[Fletz]

Do any Fenders have the center or 5th bolt on the neck where it meets the body or is that just on Squiers?

Just bumping cuz I forgot to subscibe...

 

[yeahitsanibanez]

Since most Fenders only have 4 bolts for the neck, I don't understand your question.

Sorry - look at the pictures on this auction I won...

It's a tilt adjusment.
Typically you have to shim the neck to adjust tilting. Here you have a screw to do it.
70s Fender Jazz Basses had it. I can't think of another US model.

Strats had them for a while, too. Not a bass, I know, but I'm just sayin'...

So did I buy a squier body and a fnder neck?

 

[Fletz]

I guess ultimately all that matters is if I like it when it comes in. I just kinda wanna know on case I resell it. Are there other way to tell if it's a squier body? Don't wanna f anyone in a resale.

OK - looks like I mighta got screwed ... but the neck has a MIM serial number - hoping I'm not getting boned here.

 

[Fletz]

Might also explain why he took a Best Offer of $250 ...

 

[BurningSkies]

Licensed by Fender could mean a handful of parts makers. It could be AllParts, MightyMite, Etc. If the neck started as a MIM Precision, you're getting a body that's of equal if not better quality.

Thank Burningskies - I feel a little better. I guess the main thing I want - and I sent the dude a message - is to know what's what in case I don't love it and want to sell it.

Also there will be no tilt adjustment on that body regardless of what neckplate it has.
