Hi,

Is this Fender Real or Fake? I have attached pictures. The Guitar is very light. It does not feel like a good guitar to me. According to the serial number ( E 964436 ) it should be an '81.

If it's real whats the story here? Why no logo on any of the hardware? I know fender shut down in 81 and handed operation to Dan Smith for a re tooling of sorts. I also read that there are cases where fender left off dates and stamps in '81. That particular seems chocked full of history....

Fake. I don't like the tuners, the neck (no walnut on the neck or the headstock...even if the adjustments are done on the other end), and the back plate. Would still need to see the guts.

I think fake too, just not sure. thanks on the serial number.

does the fact that it's super light set off any alarms?

Then neck looks all wrong. No Plug or skunk stripe for the truss rod. serial number is not aligned, holes in the tremolo cover not inline. unless you want the midi pickup I'd leave this one alone, ok maybe 100 bucks if it plays good

Yeah I do not like the guitar at all, it belongs to a roommate who is thinking about selling it.
