I'm not a pro, and Greenhearts approach and presentation leave something to be desired. But it seems awfull strange that bodies with rare finishes are showing up with no necks or electronics.

Greenhearts appoach and presentation is SPOT ON.....I commend his courage to try and stop this fake presentation.....It is clear to see now after viewing all the evidence that the fakes being produced are very poor ones. And it appears obvious that Xhefri has a fake firestorm and a fake icestorm on this forum and his website.....kinda confusing that mr. stratocaster expert can't even produce an authentic firestorm......Bottom line is....You can't call it a "Firestorm Finish" if it is not authentic.....you have to call it a "firefox" or something else--as far as the ''icestorm'' is concerned....it does not exist...do your research .....stop being a disgrace to THE BEST ARTWORK FENDER HAS EVER PRODUCED....and all those other fake guitars are also a disgrace.....graffiti yellow ...lake placid blue...blah ...blah...blah ---as you know it is highly illegal to sell fake guitars....especially in the high dollar range.....it's probably not a good idea to display fake fender items on a website....
Just a thought from a very serious fender collector
--my suggestion to all collectors and musicians ....never buy a guitar of this era with a rare finish without having it checked out by a PRO...YOU DON'T FIND THEM AT GARAGE SALES......
greenheart has more knowledge of the firestorm finish than anyone on this forum.

Well the pics don't even match so I can't see what the argument is over.

As for Xhefri, I'll trust him over someone who has under a dozen posts under different alias. Until proven otherwise.

Probably time to get Brad involved.

I see black spots in this picture. Look near the top left of this photo. The scuffed up part just draws your eye away from at least three or four black spots.

If you do not agree that this fake firestorm body does not look just like xhefri's, you are obviously not an expert.

Do you own a fender in the firestorm finish?
Have you ever seen one with your own eyes?

I have had an offer to display one of mine at the museum in corona.
Has Xhefri?
Have You?


Get brad involved.
I'll get my contact involved.

Let's see what happens.

Now he has started using the Forum to harass me. I am not sure if this guy is crazy or what but I have notified Brad that he is doing this. I have never sold a Firestorm on eBay not do I plan to sell my Icestorm. Like I do not have better things to do than to be in the business of making fake guitars, when this is a just a hobby and I have a demanding day job?? At this point I am just ignoring him.

I think there are such serious accusations here , from Greenheart and others (same person/friends?) - so it should not be ignored anymore :evil:

Hey Mr T...."one of these things is doin their own thing...come on can you tell which one"
The one in the middle is fake captain obvious....I have held more than a dozen guitars in the Firestorm finish......I have now seen three fakes....One sold on ebay last month for 2400 to some poor soul who can't afford a lawyer....one is photos by greenheart....the other is on Xhefri's site.....do your research....there of plenty of authentic images on google....or better yet...spend a few years finding one....

Not a real big problem, until the JERK begins to ruin threads.


How about that? We have the same problem with some jerk ruining threads over in the Vintage Amp forum. Take a guess who I'm talking about. :?

I made a fake Strat wall decoration in 3 tone sunburst and this picture shows what happens when you use a spray can. I have never seen a Fender with spots like that.

That isn't anyones problem.

If you could please stop creating multiple accounts, flooding the forum with useless posts, and most importantly aggravating one of the Forum's most respected members, we would all greatly appreciate it.

Yeah. Name a thread, arc. Don't get involved ruining another one.
Take your sad party elsewhere.
