Has no one considered that they might just be decals on shitty necks? Why would a store take necks off of valuable guitars and pin them to a door when they could sell the guitars for actual real money?

It would make a great trophy. They could hang from shortscale.org's international headquarters. Free them and you'll be a hero. We can get video of one of yous running away with them like a child after a traumatic event. It would be perfect. DO IT!

Extremely unlikely. Everything (headstock shape which is not JM/Jaguar or CBS, vintage fret size and radius, decal) is bang on. A lot of trouble for a retail corporation to go through for one location, even if it is Denmark St.
I think the feasibility that they'd part out 2 guitars instead of selling them easily triumphs that of "they bought some vintage correct Mustang necks and sourced technically-illegal Fender Jag-Stang logos for them before finishing them nicely"
Next person who sees 'em in person should check for heel stamp, but I'd have a seriously hard time believing they're meticulous handmade replicas which somehow saved GUITAR CENTER some money over unscrewing two necks they already owned for bulk manufacturer price and had trouble shifting at some point (I went to a lot of shops in the late 90s where it seems they couldn't give JSs away when they had same-price Mustangs around).
