Information on jaguar neck

[Severed Hand]

Anyone know if this neck is vintage? Seller doesn’t seem to have much info other than that he bought it as a vintage listing on eBay. He ended up scrapping the project he was working on.

Thanks

Definitely not vintage

Yeah it’s weird there’s no truss today screw on the heel.

The headstock is of a different tint than the rest of the neck.

I'm no expert but this screams "Squier with a Fender decal" to me.

Oddly, here is a Telecaster with the same type of truss rod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNb-HUCjOcA

just a refin vm neck most likely. listings like this are annoying as all hell but what can ya do.

The truss rod at both ends is usually definitive. Check what Fender ones look like, vintage and modern. When they were heel adjusts, and when they were headstock adjusts. And what the Squiers look like. Fortunately they're different (always ?). That one looks like the wooden plug on the back of the heel covering the truss rod termination underneath that you find on a Squier VM. A (modern) Fender headstock-adjust rod has a steel heel anchor that usually comes out on the surface of the heel back.
