This is body is from a Strat with MIA decal on the neck. Can anyone shed any light about the origin of this body? The 1991 date would normally correspond with a swimming pool rout. What other bodies at this time used the HSS routs?

I know it is not an American Standard and the pickups/controls are imported parts.

Thanks for any help.

Cheap mini pots and cast bridge saddles look like low line Squier.

on the backplate....Are the center holes offset, or directly across from each other? The cheap minipot Bill pointed out also leads me to believe squier. if the holes I refer to on the backplate are not offset, then only further leads me to believe this is the case.

It's known as "recycling", shimmilou.

Consider this as a GREEN thread.

Yes, there was a previous thread about this guitar, but it was not really resolved.

One of the main contributors (Ceri) said this:

I do think that humbucker route may hold a crucial clue. If someone could find an exact match for that shape it would get us a long way down the road.

I was hoping by just looking at the body and routs in a separate thread, someone new would have additional information to offer.

I hope that is ok with those of you have already seen or contributed to the other thread.

Seems to me that you have gotten the best answers from the best people that you are going to get and are now just wasting everyone's time by digging this thing up. Do you really expect any different answers? If so, provide some new information instead of the same rehashed crap. :x

Hey Bill,

Feeling a bit hyper-sensitive after Ceri and Blertles, in their detailed, documented and well-reasoned replies, overruled your opinion in the other thread?

The day I alter my postings here based on your input will be the day I read Moderator under your name.

Have a nice day!

Not at all, but you must not be trusting their responses since you keep posting the same crap over and asking for new opinions. :roll:

Welcome to my ignore list. :lol:

I agree with bluesky636 here and on the other thread, I still wouldn't buy the POS. :roll:
