Definitely a fake sorry mate. The truss rod access hole says it all, as does the trem.
I strongly doubt the pickups are noiseless too. They have bevelled top, staggered height pole pieces.

Nice looker though. :wink:

It looks like you're right nikininja, the pickups aren't even as represented! :lol: Here's a picture of mine.

Hot Noiseless, flat set, polepieces, ala

Image

(notice the silver script)

Vintage Noiseless

Staggered height bevelled polepieces.

Image

The OP's pickups

Image

Notice that the polepieces are completely different in hue and set to either hot or vintage noiseless pickups. The script of his pickups looks more like gold of the vintage noiseless script.

The pics from the OP seem to have disappeared! It was edited this morning, seems that the poster removed most of the pics. There were several pics of the Strat, and closeups too. It was a nice looking guitar, but not a US made as it was made to look like.
