How to tell a Real PRE CBS Fender Strat Body Info:
I did this little clip for a customer of mine. He got a Strat or a parts (build) Strat or maybe just a body off eBay from some ya hoo saying it was a real 1962 Fender PRE CBS Body I forgot whole story, what I'm getting at I seen pictures of so called 1962 Fender body.. it was not the real deal and he asked me to look at it, and I did this video for him...and thus sharing with you
I hate fraud sellers.... knowing or Not knowing about facts, go buy on eBay.. then pass it on as real. They can go years thinking they got the real deal because they was tricked or lied to from the 1st fraud guy. They are going on the word of a UN Qualified Seller.. etc
Most of you know this, but at 1 time.. you and I did not know what to look for.
Many people send me emails asking.. Eddie is this real, what is this worth. Sorry Not my job to talk about other sellers Fender guitar's and parts or value. That Seller should answer your questions... "Why is this real" Prove it.... I do on my items, if a buyer asks. You shouldn't be buying from a un known seller if you do not know facts, or he or she can't provide them!
Well this evilBay 1962 body I guess had some low end (no vintage at all in their shop) sign a paper saying it was a real 62 Strat.. without even taking it apart.. This body was stripped to natural. No router marks, fake looking nail holes, no tooling mark inside neck pocket, no pin marks on back of body. (I called them jig marks or dowels on the 1961 brown body I show in video, but you know my point). Inside all screw hole look new. It looked like a relic job, and I am ratting this body out. I hate people Guessing, or passing the buck down because they got ripped off etc. Or some just rip off people.
Some of my rules I have learned over many years that I follow
