Like the title says: Z3022856. From what I've found out this is a USA made Strat from 2003. It's a HSS and the Bridge now has a SD Humbucker. What I want to know is whether this is a US 1 or Standard. I don't believe the store has any idea.

ANSWER

Serial Z3022856 is attached to an American Fat Strat Texas Special in 3-Tone Sunburst from 04/2003, made in the US. Full specs below!

Model Name: American Fat Strat Texas Special
Model Number: 011-7900-(Color#) and 011-7902-(Color#)
Series: Hot Rodded American Series
Body: Alder on:
(700)* 3-Color Sunburst,
(706) Black,
(781) Surf Pearl,
(791) Chrome Silver,
Ash on:
(747)** Sienna Sunburst
Neck: Maple, Modern “C” Shape,
(Satin Polyurethane Finish)


Thanks for any help

Unfortunately I have no pics and it's still in the store. Maybe I can get some tomorrow if I can get off work long enough.

On guitars built after 1993, you usually get the original specs by emailing (include the serial number...) Fender Consumer Relations.

Here is what I was able to get. The store owner really had no idea, thought it was Mexican Made, sure it wasn't Highway 1 but not sure what model.

It's in amazing shape, feels great, looks good. Asking $750.00. Haven't heard it yet. Wasn't able to plug it in today.

:oops: I might have edited out my mistake. Either that or someone came into the store and stole the 2.

It's calling me but I'm tryhing to resist untill I find out about it. I'm a noob and I've made enough mistakes already.
