what d you mean with fake?

if you mean Fender Squier California Series, yes, they are good cheap guitars, one of the best among other squiers such as squier bullets.

this is what BigJay says on

http://www.fender.com/community/forums/ ... ab86a74c99



Does that guitar have a "C.E." on it? Likely on the neck plate?

It might be a "California Edition" Stratocaster. The CE Strat was made in 1997-1998. The parts were built in Corona CA plant, painted/finished in Mexico, shipped back to Corona where the guitar was assembled. Besides the place of manufacture and assembly, there isnt much thats really unique about them. But the maple neck on a clear-coated body was the most popular version of the CE Strat.

the CE's sell for about $500 today.

hope this helps!
(btw, i have a squier california strat)

we are not talking about a Fender California Stratocaster, but a Squier California Strat, i have the same question as OP, is this guitar a mass produced fake?? there's no mention of it on the squier website, and the neck plate doesn't have a single inscription (unlike bullet and affinity squier strats i've seen). i'll post some pics of the guitar later.

No it is not fake, Squier Actually produced a California Series around the same time Fender did in the 90s. There are a lot of models that were produced in the 90s that Squier doesn't mention on the website.

mkay... anyway, here are the pics. i must add that my "california squier" came in a generic guitar box , with no manual, just the vibrato bar and two allen keys (for the truss rod and saddles).
