Like MM wrote, pics needed if you want help. As many and as detailed as possible. :wink:
A serial number is just a small part of the ID process.
You could send the serial to consumerrelations@fender.com to get specs for a guitar built with that number - that'll give a comparison point.

That serial says it's from 2008. Somehow you missed this:

SZ(XXXXXX) - SZ0(XXXXX)-2000, SZ1(XXXXX)-2001, SZ2(XXXXX)-2002, etc.

Well without pics....
I am always wary of estate sales but the mix of chrome and gold hardware is unusual. The etched neckplate and reverse headstock are of course well documented but could be attached to any strat body. Is the body white ? :D

It's obvious isn't it?
It's a fake.
If it's a Hendrix Strat it would be Jimi Hendrix :wink:

What if it's a Jimi Hendricks Strat?
Does that give it more, or less mojo? :shock:

Looks like he has gone and buggered off, Mike.
Last visit was on December 10th, and his first reply was December 13th.
Ah well .... :)
