Re: A Game. In How Many Ways is This Strat A Fake '57

ipongrac - 04 Jan 2005 11:38:38

After a closer look, I also think it's a fake. The logo is not right
(during the gold logo '65-'66 the word Stratocaster was in light
print, not heavy like it is here). And I've never seen a neck plate
that has Fender written on it. Also, the plastic tuners were never
used by Fender. And of course the pickups and knobs are totally
wrong, but I thought that those may have been replaced.
Fake!!!
