Hell Yeah!! FMIC legal dept. ought to go after this guy! This is exactly why I won't buy any Fender guitar unless it's new and from a Fender Authorized Dealer. Period.! Too many guys like this around! :evil:

I can only think its a forgery, the neckplate looks a bit cheap. The engraving of the logo looks a little shallow in comparison to my guitars. I could be wrong on that though as i can only judge it against one piece.

An entirely plausable option based on his other sales is that he's bought a custom classic tele. Has decided he's going to die with it and thought he may as well make a bit of money back. I noticed a customshop sticker selling for £100 a couple of weeks back and thought 'i could get a couple o good fuzz pedals for that'. Then it was 'your never going to use that sticker'. Dont worry its still in the case and not going anywhere though i was tempted.

This dealer obviously has employed some marketing ideas from a select group of guitar magazines. :P

This kind of crap is going to put an end to engraved neckplates and COA's. Any distinction will probably be headstock, heel and body cavity markings.

Shame. :cry:
