Looks legit, but im a little concerned about that bridge.




Take care,

I see nothing wrong with that bridge other than it needs an adjustment, either springs need to be reinstalled ( 5 instead of just 3 ) or the 2 trem spring plate screws need to be tightened up, or both.

As far as Fake it looks legit.
What's with this common denomination of " It's Fake " or " I think It's Fake " :?: :?: :roll: :roll:
If you are going to sell a guitar for $660 start bid and your response rate is 100% I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that that particular guitar is fake and the seller suspicious..

You cannot assess a guitar from your computer without running the Serial #, physically handling it and playing it. So to render a verdict of " Fake " is a shot in the dark.
There's multiple variations of Strats and if you are going to be concerned with Fake than the high end Custom Shop models resold on E-Bay would be legitimate concern but not the lower end models at $ 1000.00 or less. The amount of effort to pass off a facsimile as well as the cost of parts isn't viable. A budgeted partscaster is instantly recognizable.

And then there are fakes or impersonations with intent to deceive the buyer and the clones or copies, some very good quality, such as Greco, Tokai, Burny, Hondo, etc...

Your question is asking for someone to reply with a For Sale on this Forum..
As you must know, that is not allowed on this Forum, No Sales....Inference to Sales...Advertising to Sell..ETC...ETC...

I suggest you go to your local Craig's List..Post a Wanted Ad and/or go to your nearest Guitar Shop and look at the American Series .....

In the meantime...it would really help your standings on this Forum if you stayed within the Rules
