I can tell because Sx isn't a Fender series. If I am not mistaken. They play well though. I have nothing against them.

I don't know much about guitars so I wouldn't know.
How much do you think it's worth ?

As phony as a seven-dollar bill.

No idea. Depends on the series, age, condition, geographical location, season. Here in the Netherlands, it would probably go for about €50, but I didn't check and I might be a bit off. It's a Strat copy, a clone, and they are usually not very expensive.

I wouldn't call it fake. It's just a cheap Strat style guitar made by a completely different company. An imitation?, sure. It's the world's most copied guitar.
If it had a Fender decal, well that's a completely different scenario. I've played some pretty decent SXs and some real lemons. They're worth about $50 used.
Enjoy.

Not a fake; but is that headstock licensed by Fender?

Why in the he!! would the OP ask if it is a fake "Fender" when it doesn't say Fender anywhere on the guitar?

I'm thinking the original post was a joke.

I got the joke, but didn't laugh much.

I thought that at the time, but politely gave him the benefit of the doubt.
It could have been a foolish youngster, most likely a prank. Not funny.
