With all the fakes going around it makes me nervous about the used Jeff Beck I bought. It seems real to me but can anyone confirm this?
Here are the pics.

if you type the serial # in google it might come up or take it to a fender dealer they will be able to tell

What makes you think it may be a fake? I'm just not seeing it, unless the contoured heel is not spec on them. I just cant be bothered to check that.

looks pretty legit to me.

contoured heel, check
lsr nut, check
2 point pivot tremolo, check
american saddles, check
hot noiseless pickups, check
rosewood fret board, check and signature on headstock
straplocks, check

all can beaftermarket except the contoured heel body, well you can though warmoth. but, doubt it.

It's real. The Noiseless are legit. The fake fenders will stamp "noiseless" BUT the poles do not have curves edges like the real ones. Yours is real. Sleep well, my friend. I hope no counterfieters read this.

Thanks for checking guys. I am not sure how to spot a fake so I thought I would ask as I am not sure how accurate these guys can make a look-a-like. I traded my SG for this guitar so wanted to make sure it was legit.
checked my serial number through this website
http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx

It came back as....
This guitar is from the Signature Series
made at the Corona Plant (Fender), USA
in the Year(s): 2006

It also has the 60th Anniversary logo on the back.

Nice catch, ics! That particular one is what I want under my tree next week, but I haven't been a good enough boy all year to get it. Lumps of coal on the way, no Beck Signature model...

Thanks cnsky. I was looking at my local kijiji site and noticed it there. I offered a trade for my Gibson SG and the guy was happy with that.
So far I really like the guitar.

Hey Guys,

I have the same question about a JB signature series guitar.
Serial number is US11023263
Can anyone tell me from the S\N if it is legit and what year?
