I'm with Mike, I think it's a "bitsa". Still a cool guitar though.

its just been modded with new pickups and a different neck has been put on it. To be honest I want to change the pick ups in my guitar to emg's. Nothing wrong with it, your obviously happy with the feel and the sound hence buying it

Every production Am. Std neck had that badge that year. How do I know, i have one.

Not rare, yours just sounds modded.

Must be a typo. You added an extra 0 to that price. You seem to ignore the fact that it's highly modded, far from original, and even if it was all original it wouldn't be worth only a fraction of what you had it 'valued' at. Is that even a genuine Fender body? Glad you enjoy it though.

It's not a deluxe bridge, maybe a american standard one. Reason being the saddles aren't polished. Thats definitely a 40th anni logo on the neck.
It looks legit, either a pickup swap or a partso, the only way to determine which is to get it apart.
