12th fret dot spacing... that's no MIA neck.

Somehow, that fretboard maple doesn't look MIA quality. But I can only base this on the handful of american-made fenders that I have played. It looks more like my squier '51. There are also holes where the old tuners had been plugged up. Those are the same tuners that are on my squier. The ones on my 2000 MIA are square on the back.
