You have one of the rare "error guitars" and could be worth thousands to a collector. :mrgreen:

No worries, however I'm almost positive someone else posted same issue a few months back, tried to find the post, but no luck.

Last time it was a Mexican made guitar and the ´r´ was missing also (Jose did that).
Maybe Jose has a brother working in Corona.
Yes, one of the rare Fender Stratocaste guitars.

All the best,
Robin

You would sell it because of that?
I'd treasure it.
I'd have a one of a kind. The fret marker at the 12th on my custom shop tele are crooked.
Cool!

That's right. We've seen a few of these sort of decal errors on the Forum over the years. Rare, but it happens. Sadly, I doubt it helps the resale value upwards any. But, like AngryHatter says, you could choose to view it as making your guitar special to you.

I've a feeling Customer Services will tell you that if you don't like it you should take it back to the shop for exchange - if you're within the time zone for that, and presuming the guitar is otherwise in mint condition. Otherwise, I have no idea if Fender would swap the neck on the lifetime guarantee: it's not exactly a functional defect, after all.

We'll have to see.

Personally I wouldn't sweat it. But I understand if it's bugging you.

Good luck - C
