Update:
After changing frets by my beloved local luthier, Mr Thi and changing the saddles the guitar came to real Life
And here is the Sound of the beast:
My Friends, I guess you don't want to buy fake guitars, right? I mean buying a fake guitar that is sold as 'original' to you but the seller cheated you indeed.
Yes, you do not want to lose your money and you do not want people around you who commit a crime by illegal activities such as making fake products. Just remember the coffee fakers' scandals. Some of them ended up in prison.
So I suggest you to avoid this guy, called Lap Do. He thinks he knows about guitars and understands how they are put together (no, he has no idea because he is lazy to study about the different features/specs of the different eras of Fender guitars. Even internet provides us enough information nowadays though.
Ok, here is a story with real photos. This guy sold me a guitar via Facebook stating it was an St62 MIJ Fender Stratocaster (later on he said it was an ST57 - maple neck):
I paid 9 million VND for it. When it arrived I saw the frets are entirely worn off and moreover there is an ugly esthetic failure on both edges of the neck: the wood lost its original color due to some disease. Of course he 'forgot' to take pictures of the ugly truth. OK, I said this is an old guitar, I can live with it, and frets can be changed.
But I then checked the decals on the neck with glasses (I cannot see well small letters) and I noticed 2 terrible misspellings which made me worry about the guitar's real origin. Some international Facebook groups about Stratocaster guitars also confirmed my suspicions
I emailed Fender and they promptly answered (thank you, Jeremy) according to the photos I sent them the guitar is probably not genuine.
I informed Lap Do but he kept stating the guitar is an original MIJ Fender strat. Some of his 'colleagues' laughed at me that I have no idea about this guitar, they stated it is original and I am an annoying bloke.
(So this 'Michael' selling old guitars in Da Nang - be careful with him either)
I took the neck off to check the factory codes both on the neck and the body: but there was no stamp, letter, or numbers neither on the neck nor on the body. A MIJ Fender in the actual period all had stamps from the factory e.g. "STD 57', etc.
I then examined the serial number under very strong sunlight and I explored that it is a decal that was stuck on the neck with a homemade method. You can see the frame around it which is invisible on a real MIJ Fender guitar because they write it on the neck on another (factory) way. You clearly can see it is a fake decal made by Lap Do.
He thinks if he has Fender(ish) spare parts he can put together a guitar. Actually, he makes 'partcasters' and sells them as 'original Fender'. He put vintage Fender saddles on the tremolo bridge but he did not know that there are actually at least 3 different sizes of Fender saddles. So the guitar he sold me had the wrong size saddles and the strings could not run well above the neck. You can see that the 6 saddles are wider than the tremolo plate. I changed them to the right size, you can see the difference. And because the saddles do not match the tremolo plate the strings on the 2 sides (E6 and E1) are off the fretboard:
I then changed them to the right size saddles, it became good. He put the vintage Fender saddles on the guitar to bewilder customers about its origin.
The guitar body has a very deep belly cut, like going back to the traditions (after the CBS era). It probably have been made of sen which is actually is a more expensive wood then the regular basswood (lots of standard MIJ Strat are made of it).
Finally these pictures are from Do Lap's Facebook account you can see he is preparing to put the fake decals on these headstocks. He is a so talentless guitar faker with modest abilities that he carelessly posted the evidence about his illegal activity. Everybody be careful with such guys with poor knowledge and lack of education.
