Hello at all,

I've bought a Fender 1993 Short Scale Stratocaster for about 350€ and I'd like to know something more about this guitar because I've never played a strat like that.

The strat has a scale length of about 61cm (24"), therefore it is called "Short Scale Stratocaster". Serial number is N000574. The neck has a soft-C oder -D shaping I think, with a very thin rosewood fretboard (22 frets), a gold Fender-logo on the headstock and Gotoh tuners. The tremolo looks like the 2-point synchronized tremolo of the American Series Stratocaster, but "Fender" is written on top and the hole in the body for the tremolo is bigger than a "normal" hole so that you can get a higher tone.
It uses only one volume and one tone control for all the three pickups, neckplate is the one that is also used one the American Deluxe Series Stratocaster/Tele Pro.
The pickups have been changed with two Seymour Duncan single coils (SSL-1 or something like that, I don't know it exactly) and some kind of hot rail in the neck position (also by Seymour Duncan).
In an old Fender Frontline Magazine I found out that this guitar was from a limited series, called "Collectible Series".

Well, I'd like to know a bit more about this model, e.g. how many of these guitars have been built and what the price was because I want to know more about my strats than just that they sound great (isn't the great sound part of the "Fender"-logo on the headstock? ;)

Greetings from southern Germany,
Starfire


P.S.: Sorry for my bad language, you know I'm still learning English so I might sound a bit... strange?
