The IMG-command works only with images, so let's get the ebay link here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-USA-Fend ... 1438.l2649

The seller's description is quite short, but still just loaded with errors, misleadings and questionable statements:
Quote:
NEW + USA Fender Deluxe Plus American series Locking Tuners , Pick ups and Fender Hard Case

scarlep neck , brass nut fender locking machine heads . fully set up and in that time I have played it 5 times due to owning a few guitars


Anyways, the neck looks like a US made legit Fender neck. But I don't think it's original - the Blackmore scallop and the YJM nut don't fit any model I know of, and the tuners aren't original. It's up to you if you consider the mods upgrades...
The body & electronics seem OK, based on the pics of the ad - except that the color balance in the pics is way too yellow for an Olympic White (which was a production color).

All in all, proceed with caution. Check the serial with Fender Consumer Relations (via the support pages) to get the original specs. And ask the seller for more info. If any doubts remain, choose another one.
