The website above claims to sell and have been selling genuine fender parts for 4 years. I'd love to believe this because I eventually want to customize my own strat. Is this legit, and what are the pros and cons?

One other thing...

Someone claiming to have customized from that site is offering a strat to me for around $800...If this is legit would it be a good deal? thanks everyone, this is my first post! :o

I just bought an 2008 American Standard neck/tuners, Alnico pickups, pickguard, bridge from them. The neck has a Fender serial # and is incredible neck. The tuners and bridge saddles are stamped "Fender". Stratosphere has excellent feedback and I would think by now if they were selling forged products someone would have noticed.

Yep, Stratosphere is legit, and good to deal with.

I have bought pickups, pickguards and knobs from them with no complaints.

funny I get outbid every time I try one of their auctions.

and I bid what one would expect to pay for said item.

They must be good, they get top $$$ for everything they sell.

Hello Wiskin88,

They're not giving the stuff away
thats for sure but they do come up
with some interesting products.
I haven't bought from them yet
but maybe sometime in the future.

Cheers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but they just pretty much part-out Strats and sell the individual components. I have oredered a few things from them in the past and had pretty good luck but I think if you shop around you can find better prices.

That pretty much answers a question I posted regarding that venue. Not a bad idea.......a legal guitar chop shop.
