It is your basic workhorse Strat. U pickups are slightly hotter than E typically, but still have a vintage vibe. Lots of fans out there.
And if it had U pickups in it originally, then it was likely made before the fall of 1983.
So end of 1982-end of 1983.
Can you share more info like pics and or the serial number?
There were different versions of the decal and that may tell us something too.
