Is this a Fender 60s reissue? Opinions wanted

Phew he's agreed to a refund.

Cheers for all the advice guys. I sent him the link to this page. It helped. You've saved me a skanking!

Glad u got it sorted. Top guys on this forum

Good to hear you got it sorted, I saw that on the bay (as I'd been looking for a strat body recently too) but reported it due to the issues I had with the listing.

Here's one I assume is proper.

Cheers for the link mate. Got there too late

Well, at least you can see the difference for future reference.

Yep, mine in comparison appeared to have been carved by an ape

I'm not even convinced the Fender one is Lake Placid Blue - although I know that some colours, especially blues, often don't come out correctly in photos - it looks more like Ocean Turquoise to me. It is at least a real Fender though.

I'm not even convinced the Fender one is Lake Placid Blue.

I think it is, albeit yellowed a bit, either by age or tungsten lighting.

It's a MIM Classic 60s, not a USA RI, so how close it is to "real" LPB might be debatable.
