First off I've spent a lot of time searching the archives for my answer.
I've been able to determine that my strat was made in 1985.
The code on inside of the body reads: 1 1 3=2 CR. The body is indeed red.
the neck is maple w/ rosewood board.
Can someone conrfirm this?
The headstock is correct for the year. the only thing i havn't been able to verify is the pups.
The catalog 1985-6 description is California Accurate Reproduction. the wiring and switches all seem to be correct, however the pickups have a grey backing with no stamp to be found. I've read that the pickups usually have a stamp.
With the exception of these pickups not being original, has anyone experienced or seen this before?
I also understand that the bodies are ash from this year?
thanks in advance for your help in verifiing this guitar.
