Not sure about these guys..but they are marketing this guitar as a Fender custom guitar...when you read down they built it in England...http://cgi.ebay.com/Telecaster-Fender-C ... 45ee9ee226

Interesting stuff...but obviously not Fender, and shouldn't advertise it as such!

Here's the direct linky:

Ok, they describe it as being made from parts...but I don't get why people still insist in using those decals and the Fender name in non-Fender guitars ... I think both eBay and Fender should be notified.

That"inlay"on the 12th fret looks suspiciously like black electrical tape.It's definitely low-tech and budget.

I agree I was pissed when I saw this being passed off as a Fender...I notified both Fender and eBay...it is just BS to do that. I don't judge someone if they have a Warmoth Tele or any other Tele...that is cool...but to lie and try and pass off something as a Fender is just plain old wrong! I guess I am a Fender purist.
