FYI, the report were made after a buyer dat were oso my felo fb'ean, had been scammed by a faker for a NEW MIM fender strat dat are freaking RM 750????

btw, the report-er added me in facebook to ask for an advice about he'd depo to a seller that sell MIM fender strat at 750 dat are initially priced RM 1200.. so, confirmlah fake

i ask the buyer to bring a fren n acts like a guitar pro/all timer, then say it's a fake n ask for the depo refund..
i ady gave all info i have on how a fake fender looks like

the faker smell sthg fishy n simply say depo can't be refund.. (bcos the buyer make a mistake, dat he inform the faker b4 he wan to look at the fake, with A FREN)

As long as your Fender is MIJ , you don't really need to worry whether it is "Fake" or not . People are still not copying it . People fake mostly MIA & MIM Specs .

If you notice properly , Japanese Strats has different size than the regular MIA , MIM or MIC .
From Tremolo arm , Tremolo , pickguard size , heck even neck size .
Okay , Japanese Strats that i am talking about are Greco , Fender Japan , Tokai , Fernandes and so on .
One of the easiest ways to check , is take a normal squier trem arm , see if it fits your tremolo .
If it does , then it *might* be fake , if it doesn't (too big). You're more likely on the safe side .
Also , your machine head SHOULD be using Gotoh or something that is a higher grade (for high end models) . You can tell by the way it stays in tune .

Of course , there are many other methods . But this should get your started . Anyway , from the way you're describing it . Texas Special , V neck , Ash Body ..Should be something ST##V-##TX .

Everybody in Music Master knows about this , we stock LOADS of Fender Japan parts .From Trem Arm , Pickups , Tremolo to Machine Head . Because it is so hard to find .
Okay , Machine head isn't that bad , they are basically Gotoh .
The regular MIA , MIM , MIC parts are easily found anywhere on the streets .

hmm thats assuring, i should pop by when im back to get some parts from you guys.

the reasons why i think its not a fake is that despite its cranky flaws its a very well made guitar, the tuners are said to be vintage klustons (it was waaay back in 93') and the lines are fading. but on the overall it does make a lot of fenders i've tired feel inferior.

cheers

A solution to not owning a fake, go make your own custom built. You fake it and call it your own.

Damn..Stamp your pet's name at the the headstock after ...who cares..

another one of my rambling advice..

Your pet's name at the headstock?! wakakakaka talk about custom shop

a custom built guitar is not a fake ; it's "custom,one of a kind" guitar

What makes a DIY custom guitar so special is the blood, tears, sweat and love put into it..
Even if you don't have basic DIY skills you can still make one of these lovely mistakes..

WELL SAID . and it's surprising that people actually make copies of that "junk". i bet eddie was surprised too

custom is nice... you make the guitar to the exact spec you want... though it may suit your taste but not others. Heck! if you like it, than it's worth it.

What about that DIY set that is available at Music Master and Harmony Music? Is it able to produce a good sound? What about the neck and fret quality?

glad my bro bought my Epiphone thunderbird from nashville,US.. dont know its a fake or not..but i love the sounds!!

okay,whoever who knows where to get parts please let me know.
i want to make a custom les paul,and it would really help.
thanks so much bros

go to warmoth or stewmac they provide the best quality and also quite hefty price..

yup correct! I stand corrected. When you custom make something, it can't be referred to as a fake as you wanna make it your own even though the shape and specs are copied. But it will be deemed fake if u put in the big brand names on the headstock Like Gibson, Fender etc.

hahah yeah the signature. i think malmsteen forgot his "T"

okay,i want to know about online sellers.
lets list down the list of honest sellers who don't sell fakes.
i know for one is DeadEye and gapnap.
what about NoobAxe?
has anyone had buying experience with him?

deadeye for sure is trustable seller.. i bought my amp from him (deadeye) for rm900 ... dont have any problem at all even doing postage..

I think he's trying his best at building up his reputation here ... seen a few trades of him in this forum .. I think he has a shop. Should be ok
