Hi everybody,

My friend can buy this guitar for great price, but we wonder if it's original or if there was something modified.

We haven't found any info for this serial number on original fender site. But we have found that the guitar with these serial number were made in 2006 and 2007 in Corona. It looks like the fretboard is different or modified with inlays and also the pickups looks like they are not original. We don't have any other info from the seller. Do you think it is original US made stratocaster, or maybe it is fake?

Thank you for your replies and sorry for my English.

2006 serial number ( Fender neck or fake ) with a 1990 body ?
Lace pickup don't come IMO in 2006 Fender guitar and nothing write on them !!!

Saddles are not 2006. Where they come, I don't know. Maybe 1980 Fender guitar ?

It's a fake. The bridge, neck heel, headstock, hole for adjusting the truss rod, and tuners are all wrong. A lot of the counterfeiters have started using real-looking serial numbers that can fool the popular guitar dating sites (and may even also belong to a real Fender), but they will typically use the same serial number on every guitar they make - which is the case with this one.

Thank you all. He will not buy it. We even discussed it on other Strat forum and there are so many red flags that we are sure now it is not an original USA Stratocaster made in 2006-2007.
