Title: Help Needed Fender Experts: Is this a Real or Fake Stratocaster?
Post by: matthewmacorol on October 09, 2017, 11:26:52 AM

Hello Guys,

Can someone help me check if this is a real Fender Stratocaster. I tried using the Fender authenticity checker but the results returned empty. Not much detail on this one aside from it says it's "Made in Mexico"

my first strat was a MIM, I had it for years so at first glance I dont see anything wrong with this.

let's wait for the axeperts.

that is a Stratocaster 2008 MIM model,
mine is a telecaster of the same year which also has its serial number in front of the headstock
