What about the uneven screws on the backplate? That is OEM?

That's the same screw pattern as on one of my 2002's and my 2005 MIM Strats.

My other 2002 MIM has the screw pattern even on both sides.

Yep, my Strats are like that, too. I never really noticed. Ooops.

Pic of the back as requested by Ceri!


Hi again sportrider: thank you for the pic. Wow, a nice two piece body with good grain. No sign of a back veneer. They really did a nice job on this thing didn't they? I think you bagged a real deal. Congrats!

I'd love to know for definite what that finish is called. Tobacco Burst or something else - anyone know for sure?

Cheers - C


I got word back from customer service today. It is a FMT standard stratocaster and was a limited run for AIMM dealers in '02 (not sure who AIMM is). The color of the body is tobacco sunburst (552) and the neck is maple with polyurethane finish.
