Just received, from online purchase, a 50's Classic Vibe Stratocaster in Fiesta red-Unpainted headstock. Tag has inspection date as September 17, 2013. Serial# is-CGS1311808, if that means anything. Noticed it was not shown on Fender's site. Is it a legitimate Fender Squire? A knockoff? Maybe a model sold to certain online retailers only?

Seems to be near flawless. Just a bit of less than smooth fret finish on the lower fingerboard side only. Also one side of the neck pocket could fit a little more perfect. Seen far worse on way more pricy git's. Have never owned a strat before (35 years playing). Have a 'Gibson LP Firebrand', Washburn A-20 (1970's), ESP KH1 (early 90's), and a RIC 620 6 string. Have not yet fiddled with the setup, plays purty decent. If anyone could steer me to any setup tricks, or common mods for these axes it would be appreciated.

Not sure if I'm sold on color, kind of a 'platicy' red. May return for a Olympic white one with aluminum pick guard. At least Fender lists that one on it's site. If sellers will pay for return shipping I'll do it. FYI-it's amazing what you can get out of online retailers if you just call them and ask. Just be nice and have some humor.

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you may have gotten a Simon Neil Signature model
