Hello Lxasmaxl,

I'd say not a deluxe by those tuning machines.
I'd say not a reissue by the truss rod adjustment hole.
My thoughts.

Cheers.

Hello again Lxasmaxl,

Well a standard mim, I don't think so, its those
tuning machines. Photos I've looked at show that when
the guitar is equipped with those tuners the serial number
is on the back, when equipped with the sealed tuners the serial
number is on the front. That's it for now.

Cheers.

Hello again Lxasmaxl,

The tuning machines you have would be considered an upgrade.
It may have been FSR{factory special run}. Fender does this to
promote interest and sales, I seen this year they have come
out with an ash FSR for $50 more. Also the superstores often
commision an FSR.

Cheers.
