Laughable is what that is...fake all the way :!: Not to mention the Custom Shop would NEVER use those cheap azz tuners :!: :!:

If it is a Fender, it is one of the older cheaper Korean or Indonesia made Strats, but the headstock has been boogered up big time.

You have found something that would be good for doing the ol Pete Townsend on :!: :!: :lol: :lol:

"Custom Shop" MYASS!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

If all the phony CS Strats were laid end-to-end, the line would exceed the amount of fake '69 Z28's by an order of magnitude that overshadows the number of stars in our galaxy.

Ya, Even the nice evenly spaced screws on the backplate depict the image of cheapness.

The decals alone wouldn't have fooled me, but seeing them on that guitar....

For what it's worth, I am still a newbie when it comes to spotting fakes And, as soon as i seen the 1st picture, I actually chuckled. Even someone like me can tell that it is a fake.
