Fake 58 precision ?


Recommended Posts

Description says it's spent the last 40 years in a hardcase, so it ain't necessarily so.

I was surprised at how pristine the scratchable bits are (anodised p/g, ashtrays), and more concerned at the lack of photos of the pots & wiring, but that doesn't mean it must be a fake.

Where are the [i][b]real [/b][/i]Fender experts when you need one?

Scratchplate screws, pencil-written date at the neck, worn body and neck, showing age alright.
I'd guess it was genuine and someone is laughing at the price they paid!

The thing that would concern me is that the seller uses 'we' inferring it's from a dealer of some kind. If so they wouldn't let an original '58 run on an open auction like this.

And then there's the issue of zero feedback for 2 years (and actually only 1 item in 2010, everything else is older than 2008) and all old feedback is for trainers, old nokia phones etc.

It wouldn't have tempted me to open my wallet. . .

Pictures look familiar? Wear on the back is identical, as are the curtains ......

Well found, now you mention it, I thought I'd seen it before! So it looks real but a scam?
