Hello, I just bought an EC Gray Clapton signature series custom shop strat. I just want to very its authenticity. Are there any definitive way of finding out? Here's the photo bucket address

http://s963.photobucket.com/albums/ae11 ... C_2681.jpg


If there are problems with the image let me know how to fix it and I will. These pictures are of it on ebay. I bought it and it's at guitar center being setup. The action was a little too low. My concern is the back plate looks real except for the last line under the custom shop logo. It says 'something something ready' I forgot and its hard to read on the picture. I should have it back monday.


I have the COA that came with the guitar. It looks complete with all the items that come with the new guitars cord, COA, Strap. etc


Thank you,
Andy

He said that people will try to steal them off ebay. I've heard this from a couple sellers there. The serial numbers are always smudged off in the ebay pics; however, I do have the guitar and the serial number on the back plate and the COA that would match. I got concerned because when I looked at the back plate of the one they have on musicians friend and compared it to the one I have, it looked the same except for the saying below the custom shop logo. Is that on the 2010 EC CS Strats? I should have the guitar by tomorrow the latest if there is anything that you want me to tell you about it.

Did you get the pictures off of photobucket?

That offset waist relief is quite impressive. More true to a '57 Strat than the original Signature Series guitars of the late 80's which were supposed to be based on that year.

Remember...the finish is actually Grigio Silverstone aka EC Gray....and not pewter.
