Hi im thinking of buying a strat i saw cheap on the internet. But i think it might be something funny with the serial number sticker. Its on the back and its looks to small. Its a great deal, 1000 dollars for a around 1980 guitar, they are sold for around 1500 in Sweden.
Can anyone verify its not a fake guitar?(maybe someone owns a simular?) Thanks

It is fake, if you are considering purchasing this guitar- take good advice and don't. It looks like a Chinese made neck, with a logo applied rather badly.

The seller is out to swindle.

Here is the transalted ad-text :D hahaha

Hey.
Now I sell my old guitar just been in the closet for the past few years. Do not know much about it except that it is a Fender Stratocaster. Bought by my dad for maybe 10-15 years ago.
Recently string switching by a store. A soft pouch is included, a plectrum and a swinging lever.


I have emailed for more pictures:D
