Hi bob_sahrizan,

To post pics, upload them to a site like Photobucket (free), then copy the "IMG" code for the pic and paste into your post. The code will look like this, inside the code box:

If it is a US Fender Strat, the serial number would be on the neck plate for early 70s up to '75, and then on the headstock below the Fender decal later.

Por favor, disculpe mi español, no se llega a la práctica con mucha frecuencia.

this is the picture..

Hope this helps.







Don't know anything about it other than it's a seriously cool looking guitar.

i never seen this kinda fender in my life...i wish someone can tell me more bout this model & year...

Parts of it are definitely "The Strat" manufactured by Fender in the early eighties. Characterized by a big brass bridge. It normally came in candy apple or lake placid.
The knobs were golden not white like yours and the pickups that the guitar normally came with are not the ones currently on the guitar as pictured. The neck looks original and quite probably the body as well.Hope this helps!

Actually, the body looks to be walnut and re-finned from its original color.

Perhaps a walnut "The Strat" from '80 or '81?

I believe the standard pickups for that model included the "X1" for the bridge, with some unique switching options.

HTH

Yep thought for a moment it was ash but like you suggest Arjay most likely American black walnut!
Probably quite heavy.

Indeed.

I once owned a 25th Anniversary Strat -- northern ash and it weighed over sixteen pounds!

In the six years I had it, it never even left the house once.

Wooow, and you called it Jubba the Hut
Maybe there was a sustain block inside - a lead bar

Cheers,

It was a pretty good sounding Strat, with great action and sustain.

Just too damn heavy!

When the opportunity arose to trade it for a '62 Les Paul re-issue, I jumped on it.

Add me to the list of people that have never seen anything like that before.

Is the Fender logo on the headstock made of metal?

There may be some Fender parts, but a lot of it looks to be home-modified: the finish, the logo. We'd have to see pictures of it dissassembled to get a better idea of what it is. Pictures of the back too.

A DiMarzio Telecaster bridge pickup?

could you post a serial #? like others said, this is likely to be a modified variant of Fender's "The Strat" of the early 80s.

It does seem to be like an early '80s "The Strat." All of those I've seen had headstock logos with these features:

1) "Fender" is a decal, in black-outlined gold transition font
2) serial number under the "Fender"
4) the word "STRAT" in a slanty font
3) "Made in USA" under the word "STRAT"

This one is just "off" ...
