Hi guys,
I’m Francesco from Italy, this is my first post and I need your precious support.

I hope you can help me.

I have the opportunity to buy an used Stratocaster Custom Shop here in Italy from a guy that told me that this guitar were purchase from Reno’s Guitar in the USA.

He even told me that the guitar is a TeamBuilt model, but I’m not totally sure of that.

Here some pics he sent to me--> https://photos.app.goo.gl/6FhjyeuhNU6Aa8ig2

Thanks in advance!!

Cheers from Italy and sorry for my english.
Francesco.

Nothing stands out so probably ok.
Most CS guitars are teambuilt like this one.
The decal girl is not original.
If it is masterbuilt it will have the builders name on the reverse of the feedstock and on the cert :D

So wnat's the followup on this guitar purchase? One thing no one else was able to tell you is that the COA was signed by Mike Eldred, the former Custom Shop Manager, now traveling and recording as The Mike Eldred Trio.

One thing no one else was able to tell you is that the COA was signed by Mike Eldred, who was Custom Shop Director at the time the Forums were created. He is now traveling and recording as 'The Mike Eldred Trio' and making some awesome music. 'Baptist Town' is their third effort. His work is worth having in your collection. .
