What is making this resto difficult is there is virtually no info about these at all and no pics anywhere of what is correct as far as stampings and electronics. The original pup guard that has the vintage noiseless in it is using all CTS stuff.

More pics of MIJ Neck may help gather info, neck stamp and serial number? Fujigen, Dyna.Terada necks.

Cool Strat and great story to go with it. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of your finished project(s).

The neck is just a 67-68 style large headstock bottom truss- stamped ST-68 and says made in Japan with a 6 digit serial # starting with "N" signifying a 93-94 Fujigen. The only purpose possible for that neck would be a 67-8 reissue. My concern really is to verify if the ST-62 body is proper and if it used Japan or USA pups and electronics. Arjay seems to confirm that being an ash body is correct but being I can't get any other info or pics about these reissues innards I don't know what is supposed to be in them. The bridge is correct which is a big block trem with the correct "fender" stamped saddles used in the era for the MIJ reissues. It does not have the original tuners but seems to be drilled for "F" tuners which would be correct for a 67-8 reissue but not the Hendrix. My research indicated that for some reason on those it was incorrectly done in Japan and used vintage kluson style tuners. Plus I can not even verify if they still made the Hendrix model in 93-4 since the records only say 1988 to "early 90s".

Thanks. I am on vacay now but once back I just need to find out what electronics belong in it and should have this one done pretty quickly. The body is good to go but it does need one hole repaired on the head stock. It really plays and sounds great but that was with the replacement neck on it, an aftermarket loaded pick guard, and a really nice heavy Wilkinson bridge all of which will come in very handy for other projects but this one deserves to be restored to original.
