Repeating this question. What is a DFS number? All I see are the three Fender patent numbers that appear on many Fender decals.

Looked again and found that the truss rod nut at the base of the neck which is accessed through a slot in the pickguard is extremely non-Fender. Also the access slot is rectangular which is also very non-Fender.

I can say with confidence this is not a Fender instrument. It is a Japanese knockoff with a Fender decal. Not sure if it started out as a Tokai or not, but I'm suspecting it is perhaps a Tokai due the finishing of the neck being of a quality known to be found in them.

I'm 100% certain it is not a Fender. It might be worth 4 or 500 to a Tokai collector if it had the Tokai decal and serial. But as a Fender it is worth nothing since it isn't a Fender.

Someone put a Fender decal on it and a plain neckplate. I'm suspecting it was a Tokai with "Made In Japan" and a Tokai serial on the original neckplate and a generic neckplate was put on it when the decal was forged.

What this was before the counterfeiting I'm not really sure, but it is not now, nor was it ever, a Fender. If the person selling this is representing it as genuine Fender then do not walk, but instead RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN.


Thanks a ton, boss!

Definitely the truss rod adjuster gives it away as a wannabe Fender ! Is this where Sterling Ball got the idea from and EBMM simply rounded it off ? ( IMO its a lot easier than poking an Allen key in a hole or using a screwdriver at the pickguard end ) :-(

Whatever ideas Sterling Ball gets.... you know he likes them. Nuff said.
