Update photos from neck identification post

For those who commented on my post about the old neck I have, I can't add photos to the post so I'm adding the body pics here. I'm pretty sure it's a jackson ps-4 from the 90's, but the tag from the pawn shop says washburn and there's no markings I can find. I've had it in my shop storage for at least 10 years and never did anything with it until now

Trying to identify this neck I was given

My father in law does estate sales helping people clean out houses and price things out. A lot of the time it's a family member of someone who died, and hires someone because they live elsewhere and need the process to move quick, so a lot of things just get thrown out. He knows I do luthier work so whenever there's guitars or parts I help him with pricing. Anyway a while ago he brought me two jackson necks that the client told him to throw out, one of them was a late 90's maple fretboard neck from on of their cheaper lines of guitars, I forget which one. But the other one is this, I can't identify it, but its got a beautiful thick ebony fretboard, "made in usa" on the front of the headstock, and handwritten notes in pencil, with no Jackson stamp. So it's either a really good fake, or MAYBE a really old custom shop. The fretwork is some of the best I've seen and it's the smoothest most comfortable neck I've laid hands on in my 25 years of playing.

Thanks all for the info, I've been trying to figure this thing out for a while and I think it's safe to say this thing is awesome. I'm going to keep it and use it, normally I'd just sell it but I just can't get over how nice and comfortable it is. I'm going to plug all the mounting holes and polish the frets. I found a body in my workshop that is also a bit of mystery. I got it years ago at a pawn shop as a "washburn as-is" but I'm 90% sure it's a Japanese made Jackson ps-4, but there's no identifying markings. I'll attach photos. Usually I wouldn't marry two random pieces but I actually laughed out loud when I test fitted the neck because it's perfect, if I didn't know better Id think they were parts of the same guitar. And I love the color as well. I'll attach photos if I can

Camponotus modoc invading my house but Its okay because I have macro lenses

We have a 20ft tall dead birch tree 30 feet from the house, I noticed the holes in the side and heard a woodpecker working for two days, knew the invasion was inevitable in the spring so I got the macro gear ready.
