Hey guys,

I have found a black Fender Stratocaster for a great price on a second hand website but without a lot of info.
When I type in the serial number, it checks out to be a stratocaster made in Corona, California in 2001.
But I am not sure if its a real USA strat or not and the owner doesnt seem to have any more info or papers on the strat. Also the tuners does not seem to be standard tuners for the strat at that time and now Im not sure it its a real USA strat or not.

Can you guys maybe help me by checking out the pictures?

Thanks!

One way to see the pics is to right-click the img-box in the OP's post, "properties", copy the URL-address and paste it in the browser's address line.
Another is to open the OP's message with the "quote" button and copy the address from there.
Isn't it nice how easy people make helping..? :wink:

BTW, @tomdilli91, you can post images on the forum, like this:

Oh, and the guitar is not a US Strat.

Not any sort of Fender or Squier Strat. Not a USA, Mexican, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian Fender or Squier.

(It might possibly have been made in Indonesia, but not by one of the factories that make some of the Squiers.)

Doesn't even resemble a real Fender.

The unbound truss rod hole and the even screws in the spring cavity cover are giveaways you can smell from a mile away, not to mention the horrid body contour
