You would think someone who bought a strat in '99 would remember what model it was. I'm blaming youth league football concussions and I'm 50 now...
Heading more towards bluegrass so I'd like to move from a Strat to acoustic.
Anyone out there with some advice on what model this is?
The serial number is from '98 I believe and if I'm not mistaken it's Shoreline Gold (?).
I've uploaded a couple of pix and if anyone has a ballpark value, that would be appreciated.

It's either a '97 or a '98 model and looks like it could be an American Roadhouse Strat.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Yep, true! :P

It's a genuine USA Roadhouse (American Strat Texas Specials) in Inca Silver.

Nice guitar. Got that right for '97/'98. '97 for neck date but with Fender, who knows what the build date really was. We just had a discussion about a Clapton Strat with an '89 headstock date and the production records Rob Schwarz dug up indicated the guitar was actually built in '99.
