Does the American Vintage Reissue '56 Stratocaster 2-tone sunburst guitar's headstock come with a cheap Fender decal sticker that easily peals off or a water slide decal that's underneath the finish?

Vintage Reissues use waterslide decals on top of the finish just like the originals they represent. Nothing "cheap" about it at all. :roll:

Most modern Fenders are marked with a waterslide decal that's applied beneath the headstock's final clear-coat finish. The only exceptions are the regular-production MIA re-issues (the AVRI's and the current AVS instruments) where the waterslide decal is applied atop the final clear-coat -- just as the original guitars were made.

In no case does Fender use a self-adhesive "sticker". The only other type of headstock marking was the metallic-foiled appliqué that was used on selected upscale MIA instruments such as the various anniversary models.

That is one effed-up, confusing thread, including the who-knows-what-kind of guitar referred to as an AVRI, and later a "Deluxe Vintage Players 62". The OP's picture doesn't show, no telling what he had. :?

Trollhatten or not ..... :?: :?:

I don't think the OP is a troll. He just doesn't know the vintage strat info.

...and that's OK. Annoying and unnecessary, but OK.

I'm in a very forgiving mood tonight.

If he's posted in the past[2008]take note of the fact that his date of joining is not 5+ years ago but August 15th of this year. What's with that? Might Brad have deleted his original registration?

No there's a post titled "Is my Strat actually a Fender Product" from 2008 that this guy bumped to the top with the same question that he created a new post for here.
