Hope you can help me on this one ;)

I'm trying to build a Rory Gallagher replica (non-reliced!) and recently found an ad on a Spanish forum for a 62 US Reissue strat body for a nice price.

Trouble is the neck pocket is stamped with "STR-62" (and a date, can't read it... seller says its a 1992 model). 3 Tone sunburst and quite a nice top.

I've never come across a US made body with the STR-62 stamp but seen a few Japanese made bodies with ST-62 (and some other stamps.. ST-62TX and the like).

The price is right for a US made body but I'm not 100% sure its US made... any ideas?

Here's a few pics:

Definitely Nipponese.

And a nice one too.

I don't see any issues -- it'll make for a great RG Strat IMO.
