Mark Linkous' Stratocaster

Hi all, I just came across this post while trying to find out what guitar mark is playing.

It is not a Memphis strat copy, nor the Harley Benson copy listed in this thread.

It is the neck from a Music Man Sabre I on (likely) a Fender or Squier strat body.

You can clearly make out the Music Man Sabre logo in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjaNNpNQckE

The only issue with this theory is that it appears Sabre I's have a 3 point neck attachment (3 screws), like a 70's fender. This means the body would have to be either 70s Fender Strat (refin) or a reissue that has the same attachment. I've never seen another combination like this so I can't be sure it would fit. But the neck is clearly from a Music Man Sabre.

Hope this helps.
