What are the things to look out for?
[/quote]Here's a few 'wrongs' making it NOT a US Fender
Bridge wrong, should be 5 screws not 7 fixing.
Scratch plate; wrong too fat around controls area, wrong knobs, not a Switchcraft Jack socket, wrong number of fixing screws & in wrong places, tug bar position wrong, no cut out for truss rod access.
Body edge rounding too small, arm rest chamfer wrong angle, upper horn strap button wrong place. Neck plate with serial number wrong. Fingerboard slab wrong & not a decent rosewood, hole in heel near trussrod wrong. Truss rod adjuster wrong. Nut wrong. Headstock shape & decal wrong, string tree wrong. tuners wrong. Spray in neck pocket wrong.
Case wrong, should have Fender label by handle, wrong handle, wrong catches should be 3 not 4.
He says "[font=arial][size=4]The cable channel had to be widened out a little to fit the new larger pots[/size][/font]" wrong, they should have been full size CTS originally, "[font=arial][size=4] been upgraded with new more powerful pots"[/size][/font] utter crap!
For starters!
All IMHO of course
