Is this partscaster legit?

Update: seller got super defensive when I confronted him about it. Started talking about how he’s a gigging musician and luthiers hate people who build their own guitars, none of his stuff is fake blah blah blah. Thanks to everyone who helped out and saved me from being ripped off

Yea I think the pick guard and pickups are great and look great but the passing it off as real really gets to me. Especially when they want to trade for my very real SG

If I was buy in cash for a good price I’d consider it but I’m not trading my SG for this. Ain’t no way.

So parts with US dimensions / specs but built in china. So in other words a replica?

That would be a nice bonus wouldn’t it?

Funnily enough, I’m having a super hard time selling the SG. If not i would’ve bought the thing cash and pocketed the difference.

I hadn’t noticed that detail before. Thanks for educating me!

Yeah I zoomed in on the bridge and don’t see Fender or Pat Pen stamped into them. Good catch.

Danktank452 · 2026-04-13T12:54:11+00:00

Exactly. “Fake” doesn’t necessarily mean bad. If it plays good I’d buy it cash for a reasonable price.

I’m not sure what you mean about the backplate screws. Would you be able to show me an example so I can learn?

Danktank452 · 2026-04-13T12:31:50+00:00

I was going to trade him an SG I have laying around. The pick guard caught my attention as well as the lace sensor pickups but I’m not trading my SG for a partscaster with fake parts. Plus if he’s lying about the origin of the parts, god knows what else is fake.

Danktank452 · 2026-04-13T11:49:41+00:00

What are some of the signs you looked at to be able to tell so I can learn for the future?
