Thanks to a friend, I got some cool but odd parts for a Strat build. So I'm posting here to see if anyone have some ideas about why they are the way they are.
First, the body, a damn solid, apparently 2-piece body in solid mahogany. Nothing wrong with it (other than having to strip what looks like house paint), but look at the routing, especially on the back...It's like it used to have a LP-style switch cover.

Now the neck. Looks like a normal, old Strat fat-headstock neck, right? Notice something odd? Yep, it seems to have no truss rod! Is this original? The decal looks pretty legit...
