Me too, something about that "Custom Shop" decal on the headstock doesn't seem to fit a '54 Strat. Bet we doesn't move it at 50 large.

The decal says " Original Custom Contour Body" The only thing I don't trust is the fact its been re-soldered numerous times on the pots and the shielding isn't quite right. The tuners don't show wear that is even to the body wear. It's probably all 54 parts but I doubt they all came out of the factory together.

I am by no means an expert at hand writing but if you look at the the way the neck is signed TG (Tadeo Gomez) the link I found, it is very diffrent then the E Bay neck,
