I just brought this home...

It is 2 tone sunburst, nickel/silver color vintage tuners, 2007 MIM serial number on back and a decal that says Fender Special Edition. Vintage style spaghetti Fender decal with original contour body on front headstock. One string tree, aged knobs and covers with white single ply 8 hole pick guard.

Here is the confusing part. It has a rosewood neck with the older truss rod adjustment down by the neck pocked/pickguard.

I have a newer catalog and could not find any non artist related 8 holes with a rw neck especially with the older truss rod setup.

I can post pictures later if needed.

Any idea?

Sorry if this is an easy one

Anyone or any ideas?

Sounds like an FSR ( Factory Specialty Run) MIM strat modeled after a '59 strat.

This one has a single ply white, didn't the 59s have 3 ply? The person I bought it off of said it was all stock and the pickguard still has the plastic on it.

I got an email into Fender Cust Service, see if they get back to me.

Pictures and serial numbers would help.

Could be a parts-o-caster then. Classic 50s body with a FSR neck, but pics will help out greatly

Actually just got my answer from Fender

Nice. That's what I was thinking you had (or else it was a partsocaster).

5760: the neck like a 1960 and the body like a 1957.

My other guitar is a Strat.

Ah right. I would have said a Classic 50s model myself, but seems you got an answer right from the horse's mouth..

hey man, great find.

you got a rare guitar.

Got it for about $300. Private sale from original owner. I think he said he paid about 700 for it. He just never used it and simply wanted it gone. Honestly, I thought it was either fake or a partscaster until I saw it in person and had a chance to talk to the owner.

Maybe nothing, maybe something...

Didn't mean or know that!!!!

I just took down the link, sorry for any trouble.

Here is hopefully a better link for the 5760 from the guys who said they designed it...
