Have a guess if this is a real Fender or not.

This is the definitive opinion. Everybody knows beauty is in the eye of....well, you know.

Yeah, every morning I wake up with this "beauty" crap in my eyes!

Visine will help that.

Neck is maybe legit (I'd want to see in person, but no obvious red flags), no way is the body legit.

It's totally a Fendre. Buy it now!!

The neck looks legit to me but those blocks on the fingerboard look larger than they should be. It could be the camera angle or something but they look too large on that photo. The body is not legit.

I could have sworn it was a Fenfer.

I vote carrots, the neck looks legit to me, the body is obviously aftermarket.

Fake. Neck could be real though.

Neck, plate and tuners look '70s to me.

the only real Fender part I can see is the neck plate.
The decal is clearly added after the fact on the neck, and the bridge is placed way to far low on the body not to mention the controls.
Fake or mutt but no factory fender

It's a Bastardization and an insult to Fender to even be advertised as a Fender...

The neck looks authentic, but the body is a big question mark. If it was original, the modifications have destroyed any collector value.

Compare it to a photo of a known genuine, and I guess you'll find out.
