I believe the dot markers moved away from each other in 53 then got back together in 63. I may be wrong on this but then still such a neck would have 21 frets. That was the first thing to strike me as an oddity. But I'm no expert either.

Good luck if you decide to bid.

I've got one more picture, but it's almost the same as the prevorious one:



Thank you all for this!

Barely a slightly different angle. Looks like the seller is really trying to deliberately hide the back and headstock.

The seller is our government. On this site they sell stuff that's confiscated by the government.

So I don't think it's done on purpose, but that doesn't mean it can't be a copy.

Thank you all again!

That could be ideal if you're going for that washtub-bass groove.


But seriously, NL Dutchy jay, please don't buy that guitar. If you have $600 to spend, go to a reputable store instead.

My guitars are like my cars, the Schecter (1971 Plymouth "Cuda) is the --ssy getter, but the Strat (1973 F-150) is what I drive every other day.

Headstock is partialy covered preventing us from seeing PEAVY or some other knock off strat copy

look under the head stock tag (not under , i mean just below). is that the letter "c" as in, really big c and h, and arvel in smaller letters? they made a strat clone.

you have to let us know. can you ask the seller a question? or, since it's the government, do they say that's a no-no?

yeah,, they say they aren't alowed to give any details by phone or bij E-mail. That's the reason why I created this forum

I'm looking to buy this "American Standard Strat"
I just want to confirm that it really is an American Standard not the Special.
