Hi i just bought a used strat plus. I know that the year is 1997, but despite my best efforts i can't seem to find pictures of one that is same. it is natural with a tortoise pickguard, rosewood fretboard, lace sensors, etc. anyone have the same model? just a little worried that i may have bought one that has been pieced together, though i doubts it.
Cheers

cant find any witha tortoise shell pickguard either but lots of info pn the Plus can be found here - may help you out some.

interesting. I cam across this site. its strage, I talked to the guiy and he sears he was the original owner and all parts are original.
thanks.

I have a Strat Ultra which is a cousin of the strat plus. Mine has Blue neck Lace sensor, Gold middle LS pickup, and a dually set of Red LS pickups. It also has an ebony neck, 2-point tremelo, and a Wilkinson LSR roller nut. Mine has a 3-way toggle switch that selects the either/both bridge pickups, instead of a push button. That link is good illustration of the Fender strats offered at that time.

Hiya, I remember that guitar did infact come in nat. w/tortoise guard, and I nearly bought the same colour combination years ago used.. is the body wood ash?I think 97 was the last year for strat plus? correct me if im wrong..
I dont think you bought a non genuine strat- it may be that there isnt much around these days..
