Hi,

I am considering to buy a 51 CS Nocaster. It has its certificate and everything, but has nevertheless a "Fender Telecaster" decal on the headstock.

What do you think ?

Something odd. Changed out neck maybe?
Nocasters just say "Fender" on the headstock!

I'll say it's odd as well. That's not the proper Fender logo for the Nocaster either, wrong color.

And could it be that the decal was just wrong when the CS made the guitar ? Which are the models that use the black logo ?

I seriously doubt the Authenticity of it, papers or not.

Probably an AllParts neck with the decal added.

I would definately walk away from that one.

The Custom Shop wouldn't make a mistake like that.

As RRR states, it might not even be a Fender neck on there.

Here's a Nocaster one...

It's completely a Fender CS neck, and a Nocaster one.

... I still think this neck doesn't belong to the guitar. Rob can only give information based on the serial number, he can't know what people do with the guitars after purchase.

Cheers

David

Sure, you haven't seen detailed pics and custom order numbers on neck and body but you know better than Rob. The spec sheet given by Rob is spot on.
I have history of the guitar since it left the Chicago shop and it hasn't been altered since.
But you may think what you want.

Nope, haven't. And I'm more than happy for you if everything is the way it should be.

Cheers
