Re: NGD: American Standard Strat!
Just playing devils advocate, but i would look up the serial number. The neck may be american, but the rest might have started out Mexican.
Im hoping it turns out to be 100% bonified American! If not though, im sure its a fantastic guitar at any price!Comment

Re: NGD: American Standard Strat!
...Sorry, not US made. The truss rod adjustment gives it away. Actually, not even MiM. Probably Squire-Grade with a fake decal. With a six-point trem it could only be one of the "Vintage"-grade US guitars, and by the rest of the spec it is not (22 fret neck, tuners nothing like any US model, etc.)

Re: NGD: American Standard Strat!
It's obvious from the finish on the headstock. The rough edges of the truss rod entry point. Even the logo looks like it's printed with a bubble jet. But the body shape looks pretty good compared to other fakes that are rather contorted.Comment

Re: NGD: American Standard Strat!
I don't really care, it sounds and plays great. It could be an American neck and body with different electronics and hardware. It doesn't feel cheap and it holds tune even with those tuners

Re: NGD: American Standard Strat!
Sorry to tell you, but the entire guitar is a counterfeit. The only thing that's Fender is the waterslide decal. At least you didn't lose $650 or more. But, you did lose $100.
It's a $150 guitar.
As always, if it looks too good to be true, it most likely is.Last edited by Gearjoneser; 12-26-2016, 11:20 PM.Originally posted by Boogie BillComment

What are you on about? Having as little wraps as possible makes for better tuning.Originally posted by ehdwuld View PostComment
