Hi guys. New to the board. I'm Gaz from Bristol in the UK.
I have, until recently, been a prodominent Gibbo player. However I have just been offered a swap on a stunning 2003 Heavy relic '57 Strat in Blond.

Only problem is i am not too sure what to look for in authenticating the piece. (Give me any gibbo and I probably could!)

I have spent ages trawling search engines but two things concern me

1 - I can't find any specific data on a '57 heavy relic.
2 - The custom shop stamp seems both too small and in the wrong place.

I hope these are just my paranoia and thank you for your advice!

These are pics of the guitar:

The case is tweed/red lined and seems correct for same era strats, the certificate is present. as is a Fender cloth, ashtray bridge and trem arm.

Gaz...

Have you checked Fender's serial number database? http://www.fender.com/support/usa_instruments.php

This will give tell you whether the serial number matches the date range.
