Hello new here!
I recently ventured off into a pawn shop and stumbled upon a MIJ strat. OH COOL A MIJ STRAT TO GO WITH MY MIJ JAG AWESOME BANANAS. then i picked it up and shat a brick. the neck felt the same as my jag. WUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut? So any way I bought it for $200 and walked off curious as to what I just bought. So I ask you, the audience, WHAT DID I BUY???

Hi Alfortish, welcome to the Forum.

We, the audience, think you probably bought a short scale Strat. A Squier Mini-Strat, perhaps? Or maybe it is a regular Strat to which someone has fitted a shorter scale conversion neck, such as those available from Warmoth. I doubt there's too many of those about, but perhaps you stumbled upon one.

Two things. You could measure the scale length for us so we have more info to work on. And you could also post some better photos, especially nicely focused shots of the front and back of the headstock. Then we might know more.

Cheers - C
