Hey, there's a USA made strat at a local pawn shop for $800. It's got a good bit of dings in it and one of the knobs is missing and the wiring for the neck pick-up is kinda funky. The serial number is E 411165. Could anyone tell me what year it is?

i might be wrong but im sure that the e in that serial number means its somewhere in the eighties

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

sweet thanks

800 buck is pretty steep for a used Strat IMHO. Any guitar for sale in a store (again IMHO) shouldn't have electrical probelms regardless; unless they are offring bucks off....check your local Craigslist.org
