bass_dinger Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 So, how does one tell that it is a fake Fender? It looks fine to me - big headstock, big tuners, the word "Fender" written on it. Strings on the headstock are at an odd angle, however. What should I be looking for, to tell real from fake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Quote What should I be looking for, to tell real from fake? The one the OP posted is gone, so the only pic we can see is the headstock, so considering only the headstock we can see that the logo decal is fake - the Fender logo should have a metallic gold coloured border and patent numbers. It is also poorly applied too close to the lower edge. The tuners are not the correct type - instead of 70s style Fender ones the shape of the ear and capstan give these away to be a cheaper type. A genuine Fender Jazz bearing this logo would have either a bullet truss rod adjuster or would adjust at the neck heel with a walnut plug where the fillet is on this one.
