Just to add you posted your photo to a forum that you have to be a member to access. You can probably see the photo in your post but only people who belong to that Harley forum can see it.

Looks genuine.

But, it's really difficult to pick someone else's guitar.

A suggestion:

Get a Card stating that the two of you have a date to go out and pick a Stratocaster (within a certain budget) and then spend the day at Guitar Stores and allow your daughter to choose her own guitar.

You'll know it hits the mark, and you have the side benefit of a day out with your daughter, something you'll have less and less of a chance for as time passes.

cheers!

The sticker says American Standard.

I don't see a "MX" anywhere.

Yeah, pull the trigger. Personally, I would love getting an MIA Strat for a present. :D

Can you post a few more pics, though?
Is it all original?
How much are you paying?

Shopping for a guitar with your daughter is a great event!

That's how I ended up buying my Taylor...lol...


Buying one for your daughter without her may not work out...that's how I got my 2007...sombody didn't appreciate the gift from her dad and listed it on CL after a few years...lol...

Seriously...'The guitar chooses the player'. Let them work it out together.
