Can Anyone Tell Me if This is an American 57 RI from 1998-ish ?? I Looked Close at the Neck Pocket and i can barely read the faded stamp on it but it looks like it says MAR 13 199? See Pictures Here http://www.flickr.com/photos/114134673@N04/11901713876/

It *may* have been prior to someone corrupting it by installing the wrong pickguard. The original eight holes are plainly visible and the control cavity is correctly configured as a '57 re-issue. Whether Fender made the body or not remains problematic. Better pics would confirm one way or the other.

Did Fender offer the Vintage 57 in that white?

That doesn't look like the white blond used on Mary Kay models.
