![]() ![]() Your guitar’s journey from the factory into your hands may be a mystery, but it’s always a good way to dig into the earlier life of your instrument. Authority Guitar has collated a mountain of data to give you the history by using your Fender Serial Number. You can see the way I inject steam into the neckblock.Discovering your guitar’s history can be a very rewarding thing to do. You see the anchor in the heel, but on this guitar it seems to be far from the hole in the neckblock. ![]() I add some pictures of a neck reset I did on a 1974 Levin W-36 which could have the same type of trussrod. There is also a possibility that what You see is something that hasn´t been there form the beginning. One possibility could be that it is an anchor of some sort for the trussrod, but in this case it is a trussrod-design I have never seen in a Levin or Goya before. The vertical rod in the heel of a bolted Levin/Goya neck would not be visible, and I doubt that what You see is a screw. I really cant hint You on the metal You see. They both have the label with "Distributed by Dude", which I recognise on Your picture. I had anotherone just like it, which I still have, only two numbers apart in serial number, with a bolt on neck. I think it was put ther for manufacturing reasons, I have seen pictures from the Levin factory of guitar bodies hanging in the neck block. It leads it right to the center of the joint. I do know however that all Levins had this hole throught the neckblock, and I have used it on several instruments to inject the steam. The one I had was actually not in need of a neck reset, and I never examined the neckblock closely. ![]() ![]() It is from the period when Levin abandoned their bolted neck-joint to a traditional dovetail. I have had one Goya 174 just like the one You have on Your bench. ![]()
