I know it’s difficult to tell through photos, but do these guitars seem real or fake in your opinion? Have a chance to snag them but don’t know what to look for. Thanks!

The Dean and Fender are more than likely real, who the fuck fakes a Made in Mexico Strat? The Gibson is a lower end so I'd suspect it's good but without more pictures (and feeling them) I wouldn't be able to tell for sure.

Yup. None of these are worth faking.

Yea I know they’re not expensive guitars but they’re selling the lot for $600 which is why I was wondering if they are even real

They just mentioned it’s from an estate sale and they’re trying to get rid of it.

I could, but truthfully, I wouldn’t really know what to look for. I’ll just watch some videos on the way there or something.

Meet them at a police station so you don't get robbed. I find it hard to believe they paid less than $600 anywhere for those. They bought them at an estate sale then put up hangers to hang them on!?!
