Don't all modern Strats have a microtilt adjuster on the neck?

Bridge saddles look distinctly non-standard too.

Nice incidental selfie of the dude posting pictures of the guitar...

If it looks decent and plays well, I wouldn't say: "Don't Buy It..." :roll:

What I would say is: "Don't spend 'Fender' money for it..." :wink:

There are lots of nice, great-playing, Partscasters out there, and it's no crime to buy them.

But, fakes such as this one are trying to fool you into spending 'Fender' money for it without giving you all the Component quality, Manufacturing experience & expertise and Quality Control which makes a genuine Fender actually worth 'Fender' money.

cheers!

I disagree. I would say don't buy a fake under any circumstances. Don't encourage people to fake guitars and sell them to unsuspecting buyers. Don't buy a guitar that you will always know is a fake.

Save your money and buy a real Fender.

Yeah....and then there's the dissatisfaction of knowing that you don't own a real Fender. For me, even if you had a Warmoth Strat and put a Fender decal on it, it would be unacceptable as a "Fender" because it isn't. Now having said that, a Warmoth Strat would likely be a wonderful thing to own based on its own merits....some would argue that it's even better than a real Fender.....but don't try to pass it off as one.
