Just bought my first electric on eBay and am seeking info and advice. I bought it because of the cool treatment with Jaguar leaper inlays on the fretboard, a Jaguar logo at the 12th fret and an inlaid growler on the headstock - all very nicely done - and all gold hardware. It has a maple neck, rosewood fretboard, 21 frets, and on the back of the headstock it reads ORIGINAL Contour Body 05 1520688. The front of the headstock reads Fender (TM) Stratocaster (with no other numbers or words) and has an inlaid Jag leaper and the afore mentioned Jad growler in what appears to be mother of pearl. The body is black with black pickguard and gold unmarked knobs. I've not disassembled anything to look for other numbers.


Any ideas about the origin of this strat? Is it likely a Mexican made custom? I've read that all necks are made in Corona, whether 22 or 21 fret, with the 21 fret necks sent to Mexico for assembly.


Also, I read that if the whammy bar is removed a spring under the bar might be lost; the guitar was shipped to me with the bar removed so I am wondering about the function of the spring and how to tell if it is lost or intact.


I also just bought a Delux 90 DSP amp locally and the young fellow who advertised it gave me a demo using my new strat and said it played very nicely and was an impressive looking guitar.


Thanks in advance for any advice.

you need to contact fender cutomer service about it. they will tell you if you call them or email them and give all you know about it exspecially its serial no.

it looks a lot like the special custom shop run of jaguar guitars, although the body and pickgaurd look different and i guess it's not a custom shop.

heres some info on the custom shop model=
