I'm trying to authentic a Telecaster guitar. On the rear of the headstock it reads 'Custom Shop USA - 551' . I've checked the lists on the site. But I can't see it there. Is this likely to be the real thing? if so what' do ya think the ballpark figure to pay s/h?? :?

Some photos would be helpful. I can't think of anything I've seen with a "551" on it - unless it might be a Masterbuilt guitar and it was that builder's 551st guitar built as a Masterbuilder. However, we would need photos to figure this out.

The Custom Shop logo and location has varied slightly over the years but it should look something like this:

Pictures of the guitar in question would be very helpful.

Hi/ Yes the logo looks like that. But that is easy enuff to fake, isn't it? Once you've handed over the cash, Not much comeback. He wants £565 ..good deal ?

Thats pretty cheap for a Fender CS guitar. I would check it out more closely. As you say Fender decals can be faked.
