Quite surprised FCS are doing a 60th 54 ....serial numbers on the backplate? Does that mean they will be duplicating the MB versions from 2004. Make me a hardtail guys and I might forgive you!

No comparison. It has a non vintage neck radius, big frets and the relicing looks everything but realistic.

I agree, quarter sawn necks are not vintage correct either, I would have rathered they not even do a 60th 54' strat.

Yes, that relicing screams "fake". It's rather shameful how bad it is.
This is what an old fretboard should look like:

I was at Namm and saw the 60th anniversary heavy relic Strat and I think it is great and I would love to have one, but it's a little pricey. :D
