Hello, friends.
First of all, sorry for my english, Im from Chile.
I need your help guys. I just bought what it's supposed to be a Fender American Vintage 57 Custom Shop Stratocaster, with some mods, but Im kind of concerned if it is really a CS.
Neck seems to be a CS, but I'm not sure if body is original nor even if its american made. I never knew how to identify strat bodies.
Here are the pics.
Thank you very much!!

I don't think the body is CS. There should be a Certificate of authenticity. Also, if you send an e-mail to fender at: consumerrelations@fender.com with your serial number and these pics, they will at least be able to tell you what the guitar should have been. Necks and neck plates can easily be moved from one guitar to the next on Fenders so buyer beware!
