Just picked this up the other day. Serial comes up as a 1996 which makes sense because it has the 50 year sticker on the back of the neck. It is a 1954 reissue Made in Japan in what appears to be Surf Green. Came with an old USA Fender case that has those butterfly locks.

Welcome.

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.

That's awesome, I've always wanted to try out an MIJ Strat. How do you like it?

This guitar really needs a Clapton Mid Boost and a set of Vintage Noiseless pickups with a higher-output Dual Coil Ceramic bridge unit to produce such screaming humbucker-like "woman" tones! :evil: :twisted:

Could be my screen....but the pics of the back look blue and the front does look surf Green. What the serial number tracks back to is a Fender part number 027-1002-572
which would translate into an MIJ (027) 50's Strat w/ maple Fingerboard (1002) no case (5) in sonic blue (72) originally arrived in states and sold in March 1996.

I DO see some blue in there I swear!!

All the best,
rob
