Hello! I think I might have an old Tokai neckbut I’m not sure

Hello,

I’ve got an excellent Stratocaster style neck that I purchased second hand and its been well loved. I haven’t been able to identify it besides a strong suspicion that it is Japanese.

It appears to be a copy of a 1962 or 1963 Stratocaster and has a rather full C neck profile. It’s heftier than a modern C and matches a genuine 1963 Stratocaster almost exactly, I’ve A/B’ed them

Here is what I know

• The neck is one piece of maple
• The fingerboard is Indian Rosewood and a veneer/laminate
• The tuners are replacements, fake Klusons
• The truss rod is metric threaded
• The nut width is 1.65” and the fretboard radius is 7-1/4”
• It had tiny, vintage sized frets prior to a recent refret
• Position dots are mother of pearl, or a really convincing substitute, and the 12th fret dots are spaced 13/16” apart. Or 1-3/32” center to center
• The guitar has since been refretted but the current neck measurements are 0.845” at the 1st and 0.93” at the 12th
• The finish has checking at the back of the headstock but otherwise acts like a poly finish

Pretty sure this is not a Tokai neck. Headstock shape not quite right, retainer position wrong, center hole at heel, missing stamp....sorry.

Aw bummer, I appreciate the quick response. I’ll continue my casual quest to try and figure out who made this neck. Its one of my favorites
