Not too hard to spot...

This just popped up on FB Marketplace near me.

Not *too* tricky to out as a fake.

The logo looks like a bad photocopy.

You'd be surprised the obvious crap people fall for. Especially when it looks like a bargain.

I reported that on eBay about a week ago, and they are fully aware its a fake...

For some reason, there are a few about on Facebook/eBay at the moment.

Rumbled!

Let me guess, it has pickups marked "noiseless" even though those have never featured in an Yngwie?

For the uninitiated, the production line USA Malmsteen signature Stratocaster has the same small headstock shape and modern spaghetti logo decal as the American Standard. It was the MIJ version that got the larger CBS style headstock and logo.

Separate fingerboard and plastic truss rod plug? ST-68, -75 or not even a Fender?

Yeah, but does it still come with leather trousers and an improbably outsized ego?

Correct.

Is that what Yngwie’s signature looks like? I had no idea what model it was and read it as Gregorian Alabaster.
