I was on my local online classifieds ad and found this awesome Strat for an unbeatable price.. and was wondering if anyone has info aside from what I know it being an E Series MIJ from 1984-87.. only thing is that is has a kahler/system 1 with no clamp/saddle style nut and instead there's a truss rod cover which I've never really come across on a Strat. Just wondering if anyone has any info about these?

Here's a pic of the headstock and guitar

That truss rod cover is absolutely not original. The headstock pic is big, but I still can't say if there are old locking nut screw holes filled & covered with that lid. Is the truss rod still functioning?

I don't think that's a Kahler trem - they usually logo their products. System 1 by Schaller is my guess. Finding replacement parts ain't easy or cheap, if you need them.

The serial is way blurred - by you or done before you bought it?
On authenticity, I'm saying nothing on those two pics alone.

Anyways, you could post pics on the forum instead of behind links. Might produce more answers. Like this:

This video shows the string lock above the nut.
