Thanks guys for trusting in me...I was beginning to wonder about myself :)

Only thing that makes your theory somewhat doubtful Jack....is the fact that the earlier HWY1s with the Normal smaller decal....were Identical from outward appearance to the same year American Standard or Series 22 fret Top-adjust necks..except the serial# on the rear was more centered, whilst the Real USA series, had the Ser# up near the rounded tip of the headstock...so I guess the Mystery continues somewhat....This is where we need Mark Davis to call them, and see if they can explain it away ??....I do know for a fact, that Reliable Fender...aka...The Stratosphere, used to sell many a USA Neck to folks..and not mentioning it was from a HWY1...I think they do specify now though ?
