Please post some photos - a Strat with that serial number format could be one of three different models.

At this moment I've only got these two photos.Image Image i believe it has Texas pickups, at least they sound like Texas SC.

Looks like a Highway 1 Strat.

I'm going to be blunt.
Your photos are rubbish!
All I would say at this time is that you have a guitar that looks like a Fender Stratocaster.

Damn those blurry pics - can't even see if that's a 1ply or 3ply pickguard.
Looks like a Fender = nothing obviously and grossly wrong. But can't tell if it's all original, modded, made from Fender parts etc.

If it's got the Greasebucket™ circuit (a cap and a resistor wired in the tone controls), probably a Highway One 2009. Maybe.

Sorry for the bad pictures, these are a bit better. Might add that it used to have a matte sunburst finish, not so matte anymore though.Image

Looks like a Highway 1 - with the serial you've given it's a 2009 model.

Sorry; I wasn't able to get back online until this morning.

I'll agree with everyone else - Highway 1 Strat.

Looks like Highway one, but I didn't think they done them in sunburst in 2009, all satin finishes, someone advise me.

I believe the OP was already confident on the answers above.

But as additional confirmation: (quoting from Frontline 2009, you can find it on support pages): the HIGHWAY ONE™ Stratocaster®
(I think all caps wasn't shouting those days..? And, isn't it cute how Fender loves to use their ™ and ®...)
has a "satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish".
Plus, it's "common knowledge" that the Highway One™ finish could be buffed to shiny; the OP has apparently done that by playing :wink:

Thanks, just tracked down a sunburst 2011. 100% confirmed
