Fake RG Neck?

IBNZ_RG · #1 07-31-2009, 08:40 PM

i found an old square heel neck i need for an ibanez project. but it dosent have the model name sticker or serial on the back of the headstock like ive seen on most other older ibanez guitars. but it has a neck plate with serial no. fake or could someone have peeled it off? i just kind of get a little worried about stuff being fake/real.

The neck

normal IBZ neck w/ serial

Several of my older ones (87's mostly) just had a sticker, that easily peeled off over time.

Looks like an Ibanez to me.
Put it on. If it plays great its probably an original Wizard neck.

The sticker probably rubbed off over time.

I've seen more than one neck that's like this, it looks legit from what we can see.
Only way to know is to try it out, eh?

I have three genuine 80s RG necks with no stickers or markings - does it have a model designation stamp at the heel end?

Can you fire up a pic of the front of the headstock please? Sometimes the logo itself can be a giveaway to it being a fake. It looks authentic enough from the back and those serial numbers/stickers can come off quite easily.
