Hi! :D

I am new to the forum. I will be purchasing a used American Stratocaster in a few days. The serial number is Z4034993. What can you guys tell me about the Strat? For example, what tuners, pickups and tremolo does it have? This would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the link! However, I would like to know more about the guitar's components. It has three single coils. Would that make it an American Standard Strat?

There are a lot of American strats with 3 single coil pickups. How about a picture and your questions will be answered by the good folk on this forum!

I think the deluxe bridge is consistent with the 2004 MIA Standard. It's stock.

I would say that if you can pick it up for $800 or less than it's a go!

I know, that's what I was talking about.

You know what? I think I misread something at some point, nevermind. :?

I am going to be paying $750CDN for it. That's roughly $560USD.
