Excellent work on the refin.

I love dots and binding too! .. and what is the maple neck ..  a 70s strat neck?

Yes, it's a 1973 Strat neck I think. The neck stamp is not entirely there. The last numbers are 03 31 witch sets the date anyway.

A very bad picture but you hardly see it in person either.
The guy I bought it from said it ame from a early '70s strat.
