The ebay store THE MUSIC STORE seller I.D. "tms1880" is using the names Telecaster and Stratocaster for import "custom shop" pieces. I don't think there is one real Fender part on any of their custom shop guitars. I've asked them about them but they will not respond. I hope people don't think any of their custom work is actually Fender. Thanks.

i reccomend anyone on ebay to check serial numbers and everything given, not just from that seller, but from any purchase, there are many frauds on ebay, you have to make sure you get the right product... question the seller as well

The guitars were not labeled Fender but they did call them TMS custom shop Telecasters. There was a custom painted "Stratocaster" body for sale too. It just gripes me that they call them Strats and Teles. I've seen plenty of obvious fakes on ebay and prefer to purchase guitars that I can actually hold and inspect before I hand over the hard earned green. I buy a lot of guitars to feed my obsession and have developed good relationships with several guitar shops and pawn shops in my area. I have found fake Strats at a local pawn shop too. I want the good ones to stay in business, I love the personal interaction and appreciate them working with me. Be careful out there as there are wolves both in retail and ebay. Thanks. :mrgreen:
