@Philly_Q - I think so, didn't Hendrix have one?
Lord knows. I know there were big-headstock maple veneer boards from 1967 to 1970 (exact dates probably wrong...), but I don't think I've seen or heard of small-headstock maple slab boards before. Unless, as I say, it's just a gap in my memory.
Not suggesting it's dodgy, just curious.
they are not just a sign of a cheap copy

Both of your posts seem to be insinuating something. If there are things that need to be called out/questioned etc. it would be much more helpful to do it properly (for me because I have an interest in these things, but for seller maybe as well as any potential buyers?). I think it's a really helpful thing that those on here with expert knowledge can bring it to bear when it's needed but if it's done too obliquely everything's left a bit confusing. If it's a cheap copy I'd like to know why. If not, we have to be careful we're not doing the seller a big disservice?
I associate maple slab boards with cheap copies because that’s where I have experienced this style of neck. Despite that, I know fender did actually do it for a very brief period and have stated the info is accurate

There will be an accepted approximate range of value for a guitar of this year in the condition it’s in. Let’s say for arguments sake it’s £8-10k. (I think the guitar was listed her for about £10k if I remember correctly). In that case then all the seller has to do is go to a guitar dealer and say “I’m looking for a quick sale, I’ll let this gone for £5k”. I’ll be astounded if the guitar gets anywhere near that on ebay.
i have seen people use it as evidence of a fake, which is inaccurate.

Might cost a few quid but would be worth while on an instance like this.
