There is a giveaway - I'll be interested to see if anyone else knows what it is . The Custom Shop Relics are correct to the originals, so it isn't one of those either. Clue: it's a part of the guitar which is not often photographed, but there are a couple of examples online which you can find.

Is it something to do with the inlay dots?

Now it's mentioned I'm not sure about the dots either - the 12th-fret ones look slightly too close together.

IMO the pencil date on the neck heel is a deliberate attempt to pass that guitar off as the real deal. Let's hope CB stamped the cavity and he wasn't involved in that dating...
