Hi all,

Just got this sweetie axe yesterday. It sounds great and in decent condition! However, as I couldn't identify the spec of this guitar from the net - the certificate only shows it's a limited edition and only 5 made... if anyone can help?

Thanks in advance!

Looks really nice!
As always, one thing to try for info is to contact consumerrelations@fender.com with the details you have...serial number etc., and they should be able to give you more details about your fine looking Tele! :)

I've sent the pic of my Tele to the Fender CS, while they mentioned that with the info I've provided is not sufficient to confirm the spec on the guitar - other than 5 of 5 on the headstock, they claim that there should have serial number elsewhere. May I know where should I check with the serial number?

Thanks in advance.

Well...in the last pic.. the decal of 'Telecaster' dropped the letter "t"

Sent all this pic to FCS, and let's see if they can help - would appreciate if anyone can help too

Take the neck off the body. There should be other built data there. I question two things with the certification. 1. All the dates I've seen from the FCS are XX/XX/XXX and secondly, 5 of 5 is not a serial number.

Paris - Thanks for the reply. Will send to the guitar tech for setup, and also take off the neck for further checking.

Just found a 'similar' batch of Fender Custom Shop on the web..... Do you think this is the same batch as mine? The COA, box and layout looks similar

I'm concerned about those guitars as well. I've never seen the Fender CS logo stamped into the wood like that; or The labeling on the back of the neck like that.

Having said all of that, I'll say that I can't imagine why anyone would go through such trouble to fake a CS Strat. That's a lot of detail to make a fake. I'll do some more investigation and get back to you.

I would contact The Fender Custom Shop with detailed photos of the guitar taken apart.
