Good afternoon,

Could you help me with the specification of my guitar "Fender Made in USA"
Serial Number: Z305****

I would like to know the model, year, hardware, capture and woods of this guitar.

Thank you.

Att,
Raphael S. Fogaça

Het to tell you this, but that guitar is a fake. Looks like a Chinese fake to me

Sorry, but it looks fake to me too
The "stratocaster" part of the logo has been cut off the transfer straight
and then it looks like it has been very badly sprayed over
also the bridge saddles are cheap and nasty
Heck even I can do a better job of refinishing
(I hasten to add that this is a real Fender Japanese 1968 reissue which had a kinked logo originally and has a transitional logo on now, and will never be sold

"All right, guys, uh, listen. This is a blues riff in "B", watch me for the changes, and try and keep up, okay?"

Friends guitar is not fake, my cousin had the certificates and original Fender case, what happened is that the pickups this guitar has changed and I believe that the bridge too, but I will install Tex Special and American Vintage bridge, is the doubt regarding the exact model of the guitar, it is standard, vintage, classic ...

it's fake. No newer american fenders come with a black plastic truss rod piece, it should be maple, and american tuners don't screw in to the headstock. And a real american Fender wouldn't have those kind of string trees.
Plus all the other stuff wrong with the body.

It is certainly not what it is supposed to be. The tuners look to be off an older standard type. They have visible screws, the ones used in the 2000's did not, except vintage style which this is not.

The string trees are of a butterfly type, they should be of the roller type except on vintage reissues.

The truss rod plug is a bit too tear drop shaped and looks like plastic rather than wood. It doesn't quite look right.

It has a six screw vintage style bridge which excludes it from the American series entirely.

Vintage reissues would either have the Bullet style truss rod adjuster of the 70's type, or none at all at the headstock, but rather at the other end of the neck (heel). Vintage would also have brass vintage style frets.


The body might be Fender, probably standard series MIM or MIJ. The neck is severely questionable.

I bet if you google your serial number, it'll show up on other guitars.

Posted the serial number on google and did not appear or if you want a link!

Note to all the bridge and the pickups were changed by the previous owner

Below the photo of the guitar still in the plastic shield that I took because it was already peeling.

Well here's link to a guitar like yours, it's a site that sells fakes wholesale so I probably shouldn't post it.

I love reading the info at the bottom.

I see from this photo, that it was taken with the current pick ups and bridge.
The pickguard had to come off to change the pick ups. I'm thinking that this guitar had a loaded American pickguard dopped in it rather than having the bridge changed out as stated.

It's all fake, they put stickers on that say fender and put noiseless on the pickup covers to look real, but it's all fake.
