Fake Fenders that you bought that turned out to be real but you sold anyway and have no regrets about.

Just wondering.

Never knowingly bought or sold any fakes.

think I still kick myself for selling my first USA standard Jazz bass which I bought when I was 16. Never forgive myself. 

Bought a Warwick with the proceeds. Wanted to be a metal kid didn’t I...

I once sold a neck with a separate fake logo, but it was a real neck, I didn't dream it.

I've got two Fenders that were made for Fender by Cort in their Korean factory and I'm sure Fender purists will consider them as "fakes".  I've often thought of selling them but always realise just in time how good they are (now that I've done a proper job of finishing off the fret edges) and change my mind. Although many people may not be consider them to be "real" Fenders, they are as good as (or better than) any that I have played. Are they real or are they fake? Who cares, I like them!
