hi guys,

need some help.
bought a Telecaster that was listed as 1993/94 fender MIJ Limited ed. Telecaster.
After receiving the guitar i am absolutely not sure about the origin.
never saw a logo like that.
also the serial number and logo are over the finish.
fender usa says the serial comes up as a 60s ri mij strat!
but i am not sure if fender japan did use some serial numbers more than once...
some deatsils look right. just dont know.
here are some pics.

and waht do you think about the headstock logo?
did you ever see that one on genuine fender?
above the finish?
And the serial?
could this be that fender japan used serial numbers twice??

Guitardataproject says your serial number was made at Fuji-Gen in 93-94.

Don't know where on the US site you're getting the Strat info from. Did you put in the N prefix?

Logo does look odd.

i send them a mesage with those pics.

they confirmed that the serial is 93/94 mij., but comes up as a 60ri strat!
so there system seems to show also the models not only the year and country of origin.
of course this makes me suggest the serial is not original, which leads to the conclusion its a fake.
dont know if fender japan used serials twice or if the database of fender is 100%reliable....
