HSS configuration. Anyone ever seen one of these, and is it a real fender product? I cant find info on them anywhere. I tried to post an image but can't seem to get it on here.

Could you mean Corona, which is the Fender manufacturing plant in Corona, California? That's my guess.

No, its the type of wood, Korina. Like the 1960 something RI Custom shop Korina only that one costs $6,000.00 I tried to insert a link to the ax, hope it works.http://www.ioffer.com/i/179993919
It just seems this guy is selling these things at a really good price, almost too good KWIM???

That's one beautiful strat. But yeah, that seems a bit too cheap, perhaps. :wink:

Looks like an all-parts guitar with MIJ 62 rosewood neck, MIM Standard HSS pickguard assembly, Callaham (?) vintage 6-screw bridge and a Warmoth korina body.

Yea, the old ms vintage bridge with the HSS pickup configuration drew my attention right away, but you never know what they are up to at the "mustang ranch". Especially with all the new cheaper models these days, I quit trying to keep up with all of it. Still like that body, though I wouldn't have mucked it up with varnish. I may have to try some Korina wood in oil finish .

As the Big Double O says, it's a fake. Not even a good one at that.

There's no wooden insert at the truss rod opening on the headstock, no USA fender doesnt have one of these. Also those uber cheap Chinese string trees raise major red flags. This is a Chinese fake I guarantee.

Nope, not even close. This this is a complete fake. Cheap everything: tuners, oversized butterfly string trees, no plug in the truss rod hole. Also I don't believe I've ever seen a real guitar on ioffer. That site is full of Chinese fakes.
