I just stumbled upon this in a shop. 1996 American Standard Roland Ready for 950 Euro. (GC-1 sells for 890 Euro New)
I thought the RR Strats were made in Mexico. This looks American Standard.
The Serial number starts with N5****** and is in line with what I read from this site:

What do you experts think? Fake (MIM with new Neck and new Bridge) or Real?

I don't know, it looks like the real deal, the right trimmings and year.
For that price they could at least put on a new set of strings.

Looks like a real 1996 USA "Roland Ready" Strat - they did make these back when the VG-8 / GR-30 were first released

has all the right parts  - 2 point pivot USA tremolo

Thanks! ;D

I had it in my hands. It's not in mint condition. Mainly some dust some rust on the screws but nothing that can't be polished or replaced with little expense. IMHO 950 Euro is very close to a steal it should be at least 150 Euro less..  >:(

This site is great!

Nice one - I have only seen one or two of these over the years.  Usually it's MIM so the two point trem and modern headstock string guides are a nice pointer it's USA.  Very nice!
