Hi there,

Someone is selling a USA Fender Stratocaster RW Sienna model guitar (sunburst), and I was wondering whether any of you can confirm that it is real from the photo's?

Thanks.

Everything looks good as far as I can tell. Beautiful guitar, too.

Everything looks correct to me.

Based on what I can see from the shots on my phone, looks legit. How does it play and sound? What is the asking price for said guitar? Is it worth the money to you to purchase?

Looks like the real deal.

Thanks for the responses.

Absolutely gutted! The guy was asking £300 for it, I contacted him within 10 minutes of the ad being up by phone and email, he got back to me and said it wasn't possible to deliver (can't currently drive), and then added that it is now sold to someone local.

Was an unwanted gift, obviously didn't realize what the RRP on that guitar was.

Looks real nice - someone has the bargain of the year.

$300 begs the question, unwanted gift or five finger discount?

As in everything else, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 300 pounds is around 475 US dollars if my math is right and that is about half what a new American Strat costs. You might have gotten the deal of the century or you might have gotten ripped off. Dont fret about it too much though!

I dunno, the grain doesn't look right to me and the two piece body seems to have been joined in the middle. Most of the ones I've seen the join is 1/3rd away from the cutaway side, but I could well be wrong.

Everything looks right but the body. The body looks like alder and not Ashe. My Sienna burst Strat is "two pieace center seam" ashe. I thought the Sienna burst came with an ashe body. My Sienna burst strat was made in 2011.

I'm suspicious about the "Original Contour Body" sticker on the headstock!

The sticker is too close to the tuner. I don't know if such a misplacement happens/ has happened to factory applied stickers but I have never seen a sticker misplaced like that.

Might(!) be a aftermarket third party sticker !?!?

I also would say that it's alder, not ash.

Center connected is done by Fender as well, that doesn't bother me.

Since it's sold to a local person anyway you might have been lucky.
