But what if it is just a modified 50's strat? Then that $200 is a pretty sweet deal! :-P


It might be a REAL vintage '50s Strat? With its truss rod adjustment at the headstock? No.

But I like your optimism.

Dude,

Hope it's worth it. Play it through your usual set up. IF it sounds good, buy it. Your right, not all Fender logo's have a registered TM, but neither should the neck plate.

WOW! I guess I need to go elsewhere where people are nicer. As for your post about the MIM ... didn't you read my first post? I want an MIA ... I already have cheap guitars. Was just hoping for one of those once in a lifetime deals.

Thanks for nothing but being rude!

Dude, no one was rude. You asked if it was real, everyone said no. You've tried to disregard all that advice. I simply stated that. That's not rude, it's what's happened. Like I said, we've all chimed in like you asked, you're gonna buy it anyway. That's fine, it's your money, your decision. There's not much more we can do. That's not insulting.

I recommend a road trip. Play it...that's when you know if its going to be worth it. I hope it is one of those once in a lifetime deals. If you do get it, do what we all do with our guitars, enjoy it. I wasn't trying to be rude, I bought that Fender in Korea. It was nice...but it was a knock-off. I verified that when I got back to the states.

Hey for 200. if it plays good buy it. And it comes with a case a cheap used case will cost you 40 itself. And whats in the name if it plays good and why the hangup that you need someone to say its MIA. People pay big dollars for Signature Fenders made by Fender that are copys of some of the guitar greats instruments and those originals are modified stock guitars or made of several different guitars its all about the sound. I agree it is probely a knock off with a water slid on it though so it would be on the quility of the knock off play and sound :!:

If your after a MIA strat theres only one way to go, thats down to the local guitarshop. Personaly i wouldnt waste my petrol on a trip to see that guitar. The neck isn't a fender (proved by the truss adjustment hole), theres no serial no' on display. Way too many pretend knockups out there to even consider one that doesnt even look like a strat on inspection.
If i was after a usa strat, that guitar wouldnt be in the running.
