For me the red lights were the dark fretboard and strings misalignment with the neck.
I would have said the string misalignment made it more genuine.

I've been eying this one. Although it is far from original, I really like it.

Not a fake, read the description it explains the two dots on the first fret.

I think so. They look like early Dunlops.

Definately, I know straplocks because they were on that impulse casino I had for a day.
