Perhaps you have a Fender Strat Contemporary?

Right - pics would be very helpful.

Sounds like a Dan Smith era Strat Elite? Like this..

here are pics, i am not sure made in 1983. i googled this type strat made aroud 1982-1984 but most of them name 1983 Strat.
i can find this 2 knobs strat's history and manual but there is no information about its spec. so sad ....its body and tremolo are so special.

yup right, like this one, do you know what pickups on it?

The body looks reminiscent of the 1983 fender bullets. They were like a student electric guitar. Perhaps someone took a strat neck and put it on a bullet body?

Interesting Mike - I had seen that post a while back but I guess my retention is not as good as yours!

...and I guess I'm just an idiot.

Mike Toe is right on the money,it is an 83 Standard Strat.They had a master tone control.According to the Fender Stratocaster Book by A.R. Duchossoir the pup specs were:No. of winds ;7800,Type of wire; .42 polysol. Resistance per coil;6.0 kOhms. Inductance per coil 2.37 Henries. Top frequency;5900 Hz. Magnetic polarity(top of pup);North.Pole pieces: protruding&flush.
The cicuitry was by way of a twin mode rotary selector instead of a second tone control.In conjunction with the rotary selector switch(5 way) this rotary control adds 4 new sounds,namely;Front& mid pups in series,Mid&back pups in series,Front&back pups in parallel,Front&back pups in parallel with mid pup in series.Anyway that's what the book says,I hope that the info is of some use.

Oops, made a boo ,the rotary switch info was for The Strat model,the pup info however is correct but I left out the"Q" measurement which was 2.3.
