i ran into a store that told me they recieve guitars that are sent out new to stores and they didnt sell for one reason or another another company purchases them and fixes them in case of a loose wire inside or they need to replace something , and then even through they are new they cannot be sold as new and was aelling fender strats for $100.00 so is this true or are they knock offs from china or some where (ps ) i didnt see any serial # on them .

I would think the only time there would not be a serial # is if the neck was replaced.

I'd bet they are Chinese, and if they have Fender logos and not Squier logos it sounds like a scam for sure. Check with the Better Business Bureau in your area. I can't imagine any reputible guitar store not being able to fix a "loose wire" on a $1300 guitar and chucking it out the back door for peanuts. Did the salesman speak english?
