i want to known more about this guitar. I'm a poor frenchie guy, (so sorry for english mistakes). And i want help, and need experts advices.
It's a custom shop guitar, named on COA :Stratocaster custom 1965 build in 07/17/2002 charcoal frost, with very old look ( now cs said heavy relic). This guitare has been build in 1 copy for the NAMM 2002, by a builder named "mike"(ponce or bump ?).

What other information are you looking for? It looks like you have most of it covered. Are you looking for authenticity reassurance?

I couldn't locate your serial number using the Guitar Dating Project website. You may have to e-mail Fender Consumer Relations, http://www.fender.com/support/consumer_relations.php and e-mail them the number and have them verify it.

was going to suggest you post in Ask Mike Eldred section, but I see you already did. Checked your pics too, that's a sweet strat you found. Was hoping Mike could give more info about it since his signature is on your CofA.

Everything seems to be on the up and up. I would just keep trying Fender for confirmation but I would say it is the real thing.What did Mike say.

mike says it seems real, and just a very little number has been made, not unique guitare, that's cool for me. because in france cs guitare are 40 % more expensive than in usa.
What do you think about the builder nicknamed "mike"?
thanks every body for your help
