FDP Forum / Fender Custom Shop / Check out this 56? NOS

jnfuga2 USA	Dec 22nd, 2016 12:53 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Looking to buy my first CS Strat, which is listed as a 1956 NOS. Does the headstock look off? The decal seems closer to the edge than any others I have seen. Also, is the round string tree correct? The serial is R59XX and I have already emailed Fender for the specifics. Guitar is supposed to include the paperwork, case and COA. This is the best picture I have right now: http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss318/jnfuga2/AACEFC61-5FA0-41E2-82C2-4F0295A723C4_zpstgzprmh3.jpeg

I'd need to see it in person and if really interested but still in doubt have the seller pop the neck off to look at the markings.
