Can anyone tell me what you call this Strat I just purchased, Its a 2002 Strat from Corona Ca. it has gold fittings, 2 tone sunburst colour, maple fretboard, I thought it was a 50th anniversary Strat but it doesn't have the ID neck plate, just a gold neck plate with nothing stamped on it. Serial number Z2736519. Its brand new!

Regards Laurie

It's not a 50th anniversary Strat as they were 2004 not 2002.

Hard to say from the little information you've given. Do you have a few photos you can post on here?

You can email the serial number to Fender and they will send you back specific details about your guitar.

I'll get some photos up of the Strat sap, I bought this from Bejing and its definitely brand new and made in USA , still in original plastic covering, new case as well. Hell of a lot cheaper than buying in Australia. His site is.... www.guitarswarehouse.com

I also have a 1973 Strat, and this one sounds just as good if not better than that one its also beautiful to look at and play. Yes I got onto Fender and the serial number confirms its a genuine USA Strat built in 2002 at The Corona Factory.
My site www.lauriestephenson.net take a look guys at my Guitar Collection sometime!

For Laurie's sake I hope you're wrong but it don't look good.

Yeah, Your probably right.. you guys, I think they are copies, ( but darn good ones) so just watch them, they must be getting genuine fender serial numbers from somewhere and stamping them with those numbers so you think your getting a real Strat. Price was good $473.00 usa dollar, including Black violin shaped hard case with "Fender" in gold writing on it including shipping to Australia. Have a look at their site sometime, but be aware they have to be copies at the price they are selling them at.

If you bought a guitar from a Chinese company, I'm afraid you likely bought a fake Fender. China has a whole industry making copies of American made Gibsons, Fenders and Martins.
