I inherited one of these last week, will put some pics up later tonight. For now just trying to find out more info.

K963500 is the serial number. It is a super sweet guitar mostly because it has Kinman Pickups in it, but the neck is one of the best I have ever played. Maybe it is some type of reissue because the truss rod adjustment is located at the base of the neck instead of at the headstock.

anyone have more info about K963500? Year, make, etc

as always FHopkins thanks!

Have you ever played one of these MIJ Strats? They actually are pretty sweet. The neck feels almost like it is glass and super fast
