I'm a big fan of Partscasters (say, EC's Blackie) (well, I'm also a fan of all kinds of pork - but don't really enjoy the occasional, obligatory tux code), so this statement seems
a) a bit harsh as a general definition, and
b) off topic here - the consensus seems to lean towards "not FMIC origin"...
I of course respect your opinion.
:wink:



LOL! didn't mean to sound harsh on ya.

As soon as I saw the tuners it yelled Korean. Then I noticed the 12 fret marker spacing and it yelled Squier. Then I saw no skunk stripe on the back of the neck and was like "WTF?" Not enough info to even confirm if this is using any Fender parts at all other then a fake logo. Even the string tree spacers seem off.

It's a Squier with a couple bling effects. Sort of like putting Audi 4 rings on the hood of a Hyundai ...
It's not a Fender per se, It is a branch of FMIC but not a nice MIM or MIA or even one of the nicer classics made in Japan. Pass and look for the real McCoy's ..

So I'm going concur with everyone who has told you facts.

If you are willing heed advice, I would suggest you go on line and look for other that just like it, minus maybe the color. The headstock looks painted. Fender will on occasion do painted headstock, but it would match the body.

If you fond a whole butt load of these for sale from many different reputable venders, than maybe we're wrong. You can also contact Fender.
