I just bought this guitar after some discussion with the seller, and checking things out on it. Originally it was listed as a 1983, but we quickly realized it wasn't (three knobs not two, different bridge, etc.). What I wanted to see from the experts here was what type of specs are on these early 86/87 American Standards?

That looks like an 86'-89' to me, the tell tale identifier is the 22 frets. There weren't any 85's unless they were MIJ. Pewter and Inca Silver were available colors, but your is Pewter as Inca was a later 90's color. First year of the two point bridge. Introduced as the American Standard Stratocaster in Nov 86.
Alder body
5 way switch
3 ply w-b-w pickguard
silver transition logo
truss rod adjustment @ headstock
2 string trees
22 fret neck maple or rosewood
chrome plated die cast tuners-carried over from early 80's stock

This guitar used AlNiCo V single coils with flush pole pieces and a TBX circuit for the middle/bridge pickups (changed to DeltaTone pickup system with hot bridge pickup and No-Load circuitry in 1997).
