As far as I know, even on the oldest Fenders, the logo was painted on. I don't think Fender has ever used stickers to label the headstocks. You need to post pics of the guitar or a link to the eBay item's expired auction so we can take a look at it, but from the sounds of it, I think you may have gotten ripped off...How much did you win it for? If you don't mind me asking? But please post a link to the ebay listing so we can check out the pics of it, read the listing, and take note of the seller, because I have read listings where it almost sounds like they are describing a Fender, but then there is something in the wording of the listing which pretty much is saying its not a Fender...

i would say and lean towards it being a fake, but i wloud need to see it myself. that is strange, unless fender made that guitar and it somehow mmissed that part in the production line and when fender realized this they stuck the sticker on the guitar, but that is highly improabable.
