I cannot find any specs on my new MIM Standard Stratocaster. Anyone know what the specs are? This guitar was made in 2012 and does not have Fender Noiseless pick ups. I cannot find anything about this blonde MIM Strat on the Fender website. There are no markings stickers saying FSR. What do I have here?

MIM Standards do not have spaghetti decals.

If there's no FSR sticker on it, then it's probably a partscaster assembled from miscellaneous MIM parts (it's just a personal point of view).

I suggest you to send a PM to Rob Schwarz for more detailed information concerning the exact specs of your guitar.

You can buy thyself a set of Noiseless pickups and make your own BG Strat.

So what MIM Strat do I have? The price of my MIM Blondie was the same as a MIM Standard, $499. I like the sound of the pick-ups that are in the Strat now. I'm not sure what I have here but it looks and sounds great.

Here's the guitar in question:

Some came with a black CBS era decal while others feature a spaghetti-style decal like yours.

Send a PM to Rob Schwarz for further assistance.

Okay, I just spoke to Fender and was told my Blondie is a FSR made for Guitar Center. All the specs are from a MIM Standard except for the Ash body and blonde finish. This is strating to be my fav guitar. I cannot put it down , and It's the only guitar I want to pick up and play. I like how it looks, sounds and feels. :D :o :)

My Strat looks just like this but mine does not have Fender Noiseless pickups. My Blondie has standard MIM pickups.

Your Blondie has also a spaghetti headstock decal, a feature MIM Standards lack off.

The spaghetti decal is also speced out for the Guitar Center FSR. The Spaghetti logo does look cool but the blonde finish, and maple board is what caught my eye. I saw a Mary Kaye Strat a few years back that I fell in live with but but that guitar was waaay out of my price range. My blondie is just right. 8)
