My wife surprised me with this amazing MIJ strat today. From the serial number and the bridge it looks to be an 84-87 contemporary its one of the few guitars that has the Made in USA Kahler stamped bridge. I am very happy it plays amazing but I will definitely have to to clean it up. It was also awesome that it came with a vintage fender case.

Re: NGD (MIJ Strat)
Very cool but beware. Your wife obviously wants something.
Congrats.
By the way, what's that other sexy wee guitar you have it pictured beside?I remember calloused hands and paint-stained jeans, and I remember safe-as-houses self-belief.

Re: NGD (MIJ Strat)
I still have a mid-80's MIJ Strat (bought it new in 1986 at GC, will have to look it up) .. but it didn't have a Kahler.. some other floating trem with fine tuners.. I threw a Hotrail in the bridge, and it was my main workhorse for many years.. very well made guitars.. congrats!
Edit: Found this info
Guitar Info
Your guitar was made at the
Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan
in the Year(s): 1984 - 1987
Fuji String Instrument Production Corporation
Fuji String Instrument Production Corporation was opened in may 1960, they initially started manufacturing violins and quickly switched to classical guitar production.

They produce guitars via OEM for famous brands such as Ibanez, Epiphone, Yamaha and Fender (the import Special Interest Group nature model), G&L and others.
I also removed the dumb locking nut they had, and installed a LSR nut, improved tuning stability greatly.. apparently the bridge is a Schaller "System I"Last edited by TeleLubber; 03-25-2011, 12:30 PM.
