Hi everybody
I am asking around: could there be a Stingray from the early 90s (possibly 1992) already with a wheel truss rod but still with the glossy/varnished neck?

Yes, my '92 has the wheel and a finished neck.

Thanks Moondog. Have you a 4 or a 6-bolt neck?
I suppose the "skunk" strip on the back of the neck disappeared with the introduction of the wheel nut, am I correct?
 
My 89 is a 4 bolt with headstock adjust and skunk stripe, my 91 is 6 bolt with body-end wheel adjust and no stripe. Both are gloss finish on the back of the necks.
 
My 02/92 Stingray 4 (rosewood) has glossy neck (birdseye), wheel truss rod and six bolt neck.

My '92 is birds-eye with 6-bolt, no skunk strip.
