OK ! I'm confused.....

[lrg_machine]

I have a couple of old guitar necks, 1 Fender Strat, 1 Fender Strat copy. The genuine one is very old, very worn and has a small split in the heel, I was going to throw them in the bin but decided to put them on eBay with a starting bid of £25

The bidding is now up to £94

Have I not described them accurately? Am I missing something?

Looks fair to me

Has to be the whole "designer label" thing. Genuine old Fender neck! Perhaps it'll end up in the umbrella stand as a conversation piece....

I guess people assume they're buying from jedward, not jedwards!

I think I've sussed out why there's so much interest.

I found a web site that will give you the date from the Fender serial number...... The neck is from 1968.

That's got to be the reason I assume.

A genuine 1968 neck is collectable.

Your ultimate bid will be in excess of £94.00 by some way and the split is repairable.

Are you sure you really wanna sell it? Why did it become separated from the body and have you still got the body?

I bought the neck sometime in the mid 80's on it's own and it's been on various guitars since, but the last few years it's just been lying around, I'm just having a clear out of stuff I either don't want or won't use.

Just had another look at this web site

The neck is from 1982 not 1968

Absolutely astonished

That's an amazing price! In the classic guitar market anything Fender and old sparkles like glitter, irrespective of whether it's any good or not.
