Hello, first post so hope its in the right place. Saw this on ebay and something doesn't look right. The logo on the back of the headstock? Wrong place? No custom shop logo on Neckplate, date stamp etc. Question. could it be a Fender someone has stuck the decal on the back because at £250 it could be a good price.

Cheers

unless the ebay posted made a mistake and it was supposed to be 2500.

also, the positioning on the logo on the neck seems strange. way too close to the edge of neck. just compare with a another strat.

This. :shock: That neck is pretty much firewood.

Aside from that, the headstock decal placement looks a bit off, and the 12th fret markers are wider apart than a US model would be.

Maybe the guitar is one of Leo's original, prototype non-truss rod Strats. It could worth a fortune and the seller doesn't know it. I'd snap it up. :lol: :lol: :lol:
