Hello, friends.
First of all, sorry for my english, Im from Chile.
I need your help guys. I just bought what it's supposed to be a Fender American Vintage 57 Custom Shop Stratocaster, with some mods, but Im kind of concerned if it is really a CS.
Neck seems to be a CS, but I'm not sure if body is original nor even if its american made. I never knew how to identify strat bodies.
Here are the pics.
Thank you very much!!

The round routing in the neck pocket is typically found on MIM strat.
The custom shop designed plate is from a classic player fender. Serial number is fake. Fender does not stamp to rows with the model number. The neck is probably legit.

Only the neck seems legit - the body does not, and the neckplate is not even an original Classic Player's. Moreover, the description of the model (Fender American Vintage 57 Custom Shop Stratocaster) is a mix - there is no such Fender model. Better contact Fender Custom Shop for more information, and then the person who sold you the guitar.
