FWIW my ST80 (which I decided to keep) has the rosewood veneer fingerboard on a vee neck with a skunk stripe, exactly as described, with all other markings etc falling in line with what it is - an st80 I bought new in 1980.
And it still sounds and plays better than any 1980 Fender I have ever seen (grin)
