Hi, just found my first "real" guitar online again, and for nostalgic reasons, I bought it back...
Seems like it's been modified a bit, but that was done before I bought it the first time (back in 1994...).
Now, my knowledge is a bit better regarding what I have and play, but still trying to figure out the most about this guitar.
it's a cream colored Stratocaster with a black neck with rosewood fretboard/black headstock.
On the headstock it says Fender Stratocaster, made in Japan. Serial number E62XXXX.
The neck is bolted on with four screws.
It has black pick guard, HSS, with a ESP hotrail in neck position, a single coil in the middle, and a humbucker in the bridge. 5 way switch. Volume and one tone control (now not active), and a small silver switch, now active as a kill switch...
It has a Kahler 2300 with no locking possibility (the term always floats).
Both neck and body is labeled E556 inside the joint.
Locking "nut" behind the black normal nut.

Seems like the Kahler is mounted later (because of the cavity under it).
Can anyone tell me anything about this guitar?

Without pics, only a vague guess:
A Boxer series ST-556.
Color might be SWH (スノー・ホワイト as in Snow White).
And if the bridge is a replacement, the original could have been a Blade Shooter.
The original pickups were 1 x Dragstar with 2 x Hot Rod.
Should have a 12" radius with 22 frets, right?
