Hi, I have blonde 1994 CS 54 reissue Stratocaster. Certificate says 54 reissue and its dated April 28 1994. Its really beautiful, great woods and build quality. Only thing that is strange is serial RC002.

Serial is only wrote at backside of headstock near cs logo and also cs certificate. At neck plate is text 1954-1994.

I tried to find info about guitar, but I have not seen any RC serial or guitars with same neck plate. How's got RC001?

Thanks about help.

RC= Republic of China :lol:

Ok be serious, IMO , I'm not expert;
R = reissue ?
C= Custom Shop ?
002 second made ?

I don't know if it is a "standard" serial number

Hi I am real rookie here. I have seen Alains guitar collection or maybe tiny part of that?! So I know that if he told that my guitar is fake, it must be it with 95%. But it must be good quality one. Sad thing that I bought it several years ago, and it was little more than that 300usd. I don't think that I get my money back. That's why I haven't seen these RC serials or same series. Is this made really China like first answer was?

Why this happen to me?!


Thanks about help Alan.

If it works finely and you are overall satisfied with it, don't investigate anymore, love it and enjoy it as it is. :wink:

Hi Alain. Please tell me what detail(s) is wrong at that guitar. Is it that cs logo and "serial, cs certificate, body shape, headstock curves or neck plate..?

What do you check first, if you think that someone try to sell you cheap fake cs Fender.

There are too little information about fake cs guitars, maybe people how find out that his guitar is fake try to sell it quietly at full price.

Thanks Alain.

Ps: yours Skele Tele is my favorite telecaster ever.

First I have to apologize : I was totally wrong
Second, I'm very happy to be wrong.
Third, your guitar has been declared legit by the people in charge of the FCS at that period.
To be 100% sure, you should remove the neck and see what's written at the bottom.
PM sent.
Cheers
Alain

Hi. I am very glad that you found out also that guitar is 100% pure CS fender. I knew it in my heart all the time. Guitar is so high quality, absolutely amazing instrument. I also asked about guitar from fender, and they told that 'Custom Instrument' serial RC002 was made same day that on certificate. So date matches up.

But, hats off to you. You found truth with your CS Fender contacts. And you also told that you made mistake. We all do, every day.

So case closed, lets go play some rock n roll with these fine instruments.

Please Mr. Alain. Promise me that your Guitar museum will open again year 2016.

Thanks, I bought it several years ago from USA at small online store. Usually they have only vintage guitars, but that one was great exception. It was a lot of money to me, for someone else maybe just a coins. But it was worth every penny.
