It looks to be a 1998 AVRI '62 Strat body with an Oly White relic finish.

But honestly I'm more interested in seeing that early '70s red Camaro.

The neck pocket markings are consistent with a US-made instrument. As for matching that data to the serial number stamped on a neck plate, forget it. There is no correlation between the two. However the "V-XXXXXX" is the correct format for an AVRI guitar built in Corona, California.

Only one is an early '70s RS/SS in Cranberry. And it's the only one that truly matters.

Thank Vedat! According to that serial number this started out as a American Vintage 62 Strat that was made in 02/1999 in Corona, CA.

---- -----------------------
Since the bodies are not serialized I cannot guarantee a match; however the serial number you provided would be for a Olympic White Strat and the photos you provided seem to match up.


said that for guitar

What is it Camaro
Can you explain? :mrgreen:

We were referring to the Red car, but by your question, we can assume you will have no further detail on that matter.
