Real or fake?

[Erock93]

I don't know why I'm thrown off,
Does this look real to you guys ?

It looks like my '97 Lone Star strat before modding it.

He claims stock 08 strat

Neck looks real to me. Got any pictures of the back of the body?

The perspective and having a rug, a blanket, and a floor behind it makes it look kind of odd.

I never understand the people who take pictures of their guitars w/ backgrounds that make it hard to see the guitar, outdoors, by the pool, too dark, etc... aren't you trying to make it look as good as possible to sell it?

Serial number Z8... checks out to 2008 production.

I believe that is a Highway One Strat.

Here's a YouTube review of a sunburst version.

Yes Highway One. Entry level USA strat.

 

[mr_fender]

Yeah, I believe the rough parts were made in the Mexico factory and finished and assembled in the US factory. Named after Hwy 1 which runs down to the Ensenada, Mexico factory. Interesting mix of vintage and modern features.

Cut in Corona, hardware from China, all other work short of assembly Mexico . Last four screws USA.
