Hi, I am looking to buy a Fender Strat but given the price £150 (about $240) for the guitar only, I am wondering if it is genuine. The guy claims it is a Mexican Fender Strat model 2010 (he is not sure) with the characteristics below. He changed the pickups to EMG Active pickups. It kinda looks like this one without the signature, the better hardware and it is mexican. Does such a model even exist? He hasn't sent me the serial number yet and I cannot find this model anywhere. It looks genuine to me but I am no expert. What should a newb look for to spot a fake when he can finally see it for real?

It looks a legit Standard Strat to me. With the added upgrades at that price, it's a steal. And to go through the trouble of creating a fake MIM Strat and selling for such a low price seems like a wast of time to me. You'd figure that if someone wanted to forge Fender's name on a product that they would be trying to bilk you for top dollar.

The guitar strap sells for over $100.00 on ebay and the case runs at over $100 too.. I think you got it for a steal. Hope you're enjoying it.

Nice. If you got the case and strap thrown in you got quite a deal. She is a beauty.
