Looking for information on a recent purchase.
It’s a custom shop Floyd rose edition with the Richie Sambora Star inlays, it’s a Z7 serial number but It has two double humbuckers and a middle single which makes it different from anything I can find. Anyone know anything about these particular models?

Probably modified. Check the pickguard for extra holes and remove it to check the wiring is original
If it has a Z7 serial is may not be a custom shop. Does it have a custom shop logo on the back of the headstock?
How about some pics? :D

The serial number has been confirmed as a custom shop number, and confirms it’s a Floyd Rose edition Stratocaster, it has CS Logo on the headstock too. Original wiring and no extra holes, just haven’t seen one with the Sambora Stars fretboard inlays before. How do I post photos?

How to post picture :

https://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=109081

_________________________________________

First you need to upload your pics to the internet. From a great forum member ; Jmattis


Use a pic hosting site (imgur, imgbb, flickr or such - avoid photobucket) or some common web framework like e.g. facebook, googlephotos - whatever you're familiar with.

The important thing is that the web site provides you with a pic address - that's the one starting with 'http' and ending in '.jpg'.

Copy the pic address, and use the IMG-command (visible when you write a message) on the forum.

Preview your post so everything is OK.

Hi there are plenty with the star inlays.
Not trying to argue just a question who confirmed it was Fender consumer relations?
There are some of fakes out there with the cs logo
Here's one for a start that I think is fake so there could be more

If it was Fender did they provide more info? What is the full serial.
