I enjoyed looking at the pics.

Wow, a true relic! Still don't like the look, but it's impressive to think how many hands it went thru.

Interesting details, like the white primer (?) layer on the body, and the copper tape under the control pots. Big red flag on the base of the neck, looks like an impression in the wood from a microtilt screw (?)

Thanks for the heads up

I love it!

The neck plate could have been changed out.

On Strats manufactured prior to 1977, the instrument's serial number was stamped on the neck plate, Gunny.
