I bought a used Japanesse Strat this weekend. Got a great deal. What an amazing guitar this is. It has a Foto Flame neck, not sure if the body is. My question is. What is Foto Flame? I've seen pictures but never really an explanation of it before.

Foto flame is a way to simulate the look of a flame maple (or curly maple). It is made by placing a thin layer of photographic film over the body of the guitar, before clear coat.

Thanks. If I take the neck off should there be a code in the neck pocket to give some basic info?

Foto Flame = Fony Flame

They look really nice but it's a simulated flame maple look. You get the snazzy look without the associated cost. They are a pretty cool series of guitars and you're fortunate to have gotten a good deal.
