Hi!

I am in the position to buy this guitar;

I was thinking it might be a Dan Smith era guitar or ''just'' a part caster.

What do you all think? I'd love to get some opinions on this. The Serialnumber is E332475

Thanks a lot in advance.

Jeremy

The guitar is too old for Fender's serial number records; they only go back to about 1993.

But it looks the era; early eighties, and the serial fits that. I don't notice any usual signs of a fake on those pics.
The FreeFlyte trem tells it's not a "real Dan Smith Strat". And I think the roller nut isn't original.

I'd guess it's the short lived (1983-1985) model, mostly called the revised Standard. Inside pics (neck end/pocket and pickups & electronics & wiring) might tell more.

BTW, you can post pics on the forum with the pic address (https … jpg) and the IMG-button, like this:

Looks like you have a tinkered with 1983 Standard
