As referred to, I've had some personal experience with F Aust and my guess would be ... at Australian inspection your neck wasn't perfect. They have lots of spare parts and grabbed a big headstock Tele neck rather than a Strat neck. Easy done, you didn't spot it for a few hours. You're in an interesting position, drive it hard and they will replace the neck, or you get paper work from them as I did describing a mis-matched guitar as being sold by them and you have a talking point. Either way it's still a great instrument, enjoy and don't stress when dealing with them but NEVER give in to bullies. Get what YOU want out of it.
