Hi ics1974: well, I'd take issue with the description of a 14 year old guitar as "brand new". So that got things off to a bad start.

However, I've seen that model before and at least from what I can see on that page I don't find anything to raise alarm bells. And I happen to think that was a particularly nice and unusual Strat, with the flamed maple front and back. Very tasty. (Though be aware it is a veneer or thin cap, as the blacked out belly cut shows.)

The price seems extremely reasonable. Maybe there's something to worry about on that point?

Yes. It looks legit. That's Canadian so... do the math.

Yep, looks legit to me. I've seen these before in 1996 to commemerate the 50th Anniversary of Fender the company. Not to be confused with the Strats from 2004 for the 50th Anniversary of the Stratocaster.

Yes as that is the price range I see them in. When someone is not sure go on ebay and look at the completed listings to get an idea for what a model is going for,
