Hobbayne Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Someones gone to a lot of trouble to forge a fake American serial number which Crack converters has obviously used to verify its (ahem) authenticity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Everything......logo, tuners, bridge, serial placement, mismatched timber, burst, cheap looking neck, string tree, truss rod access, oh the neck plate may be real... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'm no Fender expert but... Front screws on the bridge, cheap, unevenly laminated body wood, glued-on maple fretboard, cheap-looking neck timber, pressed-tin tuners, blurry, photocopy-look decals. The more trained eye will see much more but this is cheap Chinese tat - knock a 9 off the price and it would still be too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
