Looking for Advice on a RR

So +1 to it being a bizarre statement to begin with.

Makes it easier to put out fakes if they have to. They can do all the relic shit, so they'd just need to go back through the logs and build something from the past, age it, then have one of their agents list it on Ebay as an original 80s piece.

I think Newc was suggesting that forgers would match specs on a fake and put a matching serial on it so that if someone called Fender they would "validate" the authenticity. Fake up some vanilla, black RR's and then put a serial from the logs that matches. You could make a dozen to make it worth your while. Maybe far fetched but hey crooks are pretty dedicated to being crooks.

Far fetched yes...."forgers" COULD use the logs to create "fakes" (far easier w/bolt-ons than neck-thrus though) but they're usually easy to spot if you know what to look for....& if you don't forums like this are a wealth of information!!

That said I do not think that is what Newc was suggesting!!
