I bought an American Custom Shop Classic Strat. It did not come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Doesn't all CS Strats come with a COA? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If you bought it new just go back to your Dealer and ask him to get one at Fender.
All CS guitars are supposed to be delivered with a COA
If you bought it second hand, only the original buyer can make such request through the original Dealer.

If I were you I would do my best to obtain one. You would be surprised at the premium most buyers of CS guitars put on this certificate and other case candy! Good luck! :)

Can you tell me if a COA should have come with a new American Vintage as well?

As Alain stated.....any new guitar from the Custom Shop to you as a first owner carries a COA.

My 1999 CS '63 Tele (Time Machine series) did not come with a COA because it was the first year of issue and COAs were not issued until the following year.

Your qualification of circumstances is relevant here.

Interesting, I didn't know the COAs were such a big deal. I own a couple of CS Strats with COAs. The COAs seem more like a pain to haul around inside the case with everything else, but so far I haven't lost one. I guess I should be more careful about taking care of the COAs if I ever decide I want to part with one of them and get $$$ amount they're worth.

COA is very importand. I've come across some to good to be true deals on ebay only to find out the cs guitar didnt have it's coa. I've passed on every one. Usually the seller has a hard time selling especially on ebay were the seller is competeing against similar items with the coa incld.
