This is screaming ply body at me. Whenever a seller says that he's not sure if the parts are genuine or not, especially more than once, you can be sure they're not.

With an obvious decal - looks like an Encore or Hohner body, I like the way the listing skirts around the truth without being blatantly dishonest. 28 bidders? One disappointed winner.

Decal surrounds / edges look unlike any Fender I have owned (4 from 1977) or any Fender I have seen (countless). Caveat emptor m'lud.

Which decal, there seems to be every one ever know on it.

Headstock again is the dead giveaway! Compare the curvature between the D and G string posts with a real Fender.
Also the position of the String tree is wrong!

There are a few screws missing! at least he's aware of his mental condition
