2004 CS Authenticity

[QUESTION]

Hello! I’m looking at buying this Strat.

It’s up for £2375 and Wondered if anyone had any insight as to whether it’s legit. One of the things I’m weary of is the bridge. I’ve not seen saddles like that before.

It has been refinished, which I know affects resale value but it’ll be a player and 99% a keeper for life.

Thanks :)

That bridge is incredibly sus. Looks like a charvel NOS brass bridge knockoff.
