So I recently purchased this strat from a guy for about 850 euros. The color on it is hot rod red and the serial number begins with an EE. Now from what i know this serial number means its from 1987 - 1989 (but i could be wrong). If it was though how come the color is hot rod red. From what i know hot rod red was put on strats in the very early 2000s. Please some clarify this for me. Very much appreciate it :)

Pics would surely help, including the headstock, neck, back and front. We would have to ascertain where it came from to get the color correct.

"Hot Rod Red" is one of those esoteric paint designations that FMIC periodically dredges up to generate marketing hype. It may well be no different from Fiesta Red. Fender pulled the same shtick with "Torino Red".
