MIM Charvel with protruding locking screws

[Pat616]

Hey!

Please help ID this MIM Charvel…Never seen one like that, serial is MC13 so should be a 2013, but I’ve never seen one with the screws exposed..anyone?

The screws may be loose and just need to be tightened. Or maybe it fell/took a hit somehow and the nut got pushed in. Really strange.

Need to see more pictures but my money is that neck has been swapped or had some other kind of oddity go on with it. I'd lay good odds it's not the original neck or even a Charvel neck. Wouldn't surprise me if someone had another neck lying around and plugged the old "thru neck" floyd nut holes.

Yeah I’m not that savvy on Charvel history but haven’t seen a “modern” one with the locking screws poking out in the back of the neck I’ll post more pics in a sec

[Pat616]

Yep very strange… I’ll post more pics in a sec

I would say aftermarket neck. The lockin nut screws, did they eve use skunk stripe on these? and the hole for the trussrod is different from charvel necks. Or is is an older Charvel neck with some modifications who knows.

And with older i mean the Japan made from was it 2010 or something like that. Or maybe even one of those US made from 2008. Those had skunk stripes didnt they.

My money is that is not a Charvel neck. 2013 should be a old school heel adjust truss rod and no wheel cutout. Wheel cutout is not correct either. I'd bet my bottom dollar that's a mutt.

Yes. Thanks for the input!
