Been a long time since I started a post here, and this is the perfect time to do it. I just pulled the trigger on a 1986 Fender MIJ 57RI Strat.

It will fit in with the:

1986 Fender MIJ 68RI Strat
and
1986 Fender MIJ 72RI Strat

that I already have.

I'll have to catch you all up on what is residing at the Feathers Left Handed Guitar Heaven in another post soon!!

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

What is it about the MIJ RI's you like?
Looks like you're after/have now got the whole set from 1986.
I have a TL62 - MIJ RI 62 Tele and love it. Beautifully built and great tones.

This search has been going on for years now. So it's nothing new.

If you saw my house you would really know how bad my GAS is. ;-)
