HI ALL: I have a chance to buy this 2012 MIA Strat for $800. My concerns are I cannot locate the model number on the internet and on the picture I cannot match up the head stock with other pictures of Fender Strats from 2012. In this Picture there are two string stabilizers before the strings hit the tuners online I can only find pictures with one. This looks to be a MIA Custom shop Strat can someone help me confirm this? The model given by the seller is US12066561 and here are pics of the body and head stock. Thanks for the help all.

Looks like the American special stratocaster to me.

70's style headstock
vintage style bridge
two roller string trees.

American Special

If it were from the Custom Shop;

a.) It wouldn't be $800 :roll:

and

b.) Headstock Logo would look like this:

You're most welcome.

It's a very nice guitar. I'd been thinking of picking one up myself, I love the 70's style billboard headstock.
