More photos of this same guitar on a previous auction. I might be wrong, but there is something not quite right about that Fender logo

He said in the other auction (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =104333291) "not real". So that means fake I guess.

All LPs have 2 screws on the truss rod cover. I wonder why the supreme with the standard truss rod cover has 3? Another thing to add to the list of dodginess.

You be the judge.

His current auction Fender Stratocaster Made In Mexico

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =107887940


His fake Mexican Strat (when he previously listed it)

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =104333291


And a genuine Mexican Strat someone has just listed

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Music-instrume ... 243786.htm

The logo on his guitar is so badly done it defies description. It's obviously a fake.
I've asked him on his current auction if he could refer people back to his previous auction which does have a clearer headstock shot. He'll answer any other question except my one. I wonder why ;-)

What do you guys reckon?

Maybe if he got a few more questions linking back to his original auction it might help distil some honesty into this guy.
