Didn't it come with the Certificate of Authenticity? Looks like a Custom Shop Custom Classic to me but they didn't come stock with locking tuners.

Depends on the year it was made, the Custom Classic was discontinued in 2011 (I think it was), and was replaced (as far as I know) by the Custom Deluxe.

Remember, any 2nd hand Fender CS guitar's ID will be vague at best. It could any one of several different modern models, either designed by the shop or by a player. And once in the hands of an owner, easily modfied. Without paperwork, unless it is a signature model or something historic, it's a roll of the die.

Send your serial number to Fender Customer Service. I suggest staying away from Custom Shop models unless it comes with all the case candy. Its very difficult to figure out a true CS from fakes on the market sometimes when all you see is a waterslide on the back.

The OP sure didn't want to tell us very much about the instrument in question.

On my tablet, the truss rod plug looked like black plastic, so it seemed that the neck was MIM.

Custom Deluxes were introduced in 2009.

Custom Classics are now available only per customer's request, the series was officially discontinued that year.
