Hola!

I would like to ask for help to indentify the picture below...i think it's a fake, but i would like to be sure about it:

Image

I think:

. Trussrod not correct
. 2 of thosse things to pass the strings when the USA model has only 1 (Japan i think 2)
. The logo is not correct.

No brass nut, wrong tuners, two string guides, odd truss rod cap, funny logo without alternative sufficient proof and more pics I would have to agree ..... fake :D

The Japanese ST71 and ST72 YM bighead models have one string tree (and a bullet truss rod etc.), so this one is not a Fender MIJ YM Signature.
I doubt it's an FMIC product at all.

You give very little info to go with - original ad, what's the guitar supposed to be, how old... And only one pic.

Almost nothing looks right in the picture - absolute fake. Granted better than a great number of fakes we have seen but still fake.

It does surprise me with these criminals that, having gone to the trouble of creating a fake, they don't make it accurate. I am glad they don't, so that more people don't get caught out, but you would think it would no more difficult to do it right than do it wrong.
