Thomann is a legit dealer. They are like the US's Sweetwater for the EU along with Anderton's.
They are based in Germany and they sell legitimate products.
Yes, if that is advertised as a Fender Custom Shop (I don't read German, but from the price I assume it is) then it is a Custom Shop model.
All Fender Custom Shop models are made in the Corona Custom Shop facility (separate from the Corona production facility) in Corona, California.

That m.thomann page isn't as informative as the same page with a www.thomann adress. The www page tells it's a Custom Shop guitar, thus it's also a MIA guitar. The www also has the basic specs.

And BTW, the OP's link opens in Danish, not German. :wink:

Thanks for reply guys!
I was asking because i Saw that on another model it Said: “custom shop made in usa”
But on this one it only Said “custom shop model”
So i was thinking, maybe it wasnt made in The US. And not am actual custom shop. But Thomann explained it to me as Well.
But anyways i bought it Yesterday. And now i cant wait for it to get home!

And oh yeah It is danish. Im danish, just forgot to change The language. My bad

One area you have to be careful, there is a series of MiM that have "Custom Shop Designed" on the neck plate. They frequently show up on the market advertised as "Custom Shop"
They are not fakes, just misrepresented. They are easily identifiable by the black plastic truss rod insert, typical of Mexican necks. They were also less than $1,000US when new, and used maybe $500 on a good day, but those being represented as "Custom Shop" may try to sell for $1000.

Those MIM Strats with “Custom Shop Designed” on the neck plate, do not have the black inserts, the plugs actually are just like the MIA walnut, on models with the truss rod adjust at the body end (original Classic Players 50s series).
