It looks like a U.S. body based on the two point trem and saddles. The swimming pool rout isn't too common on U.S. bodies, so that would narrow it down a bit. Do you have a close up pic of the stamps in the neck pocket?

I was told by 6 different guitar stores it is a American strat.. But trying to find value in it.. And what issue it is.. Cause it don't have original neck

Re: Stratocaster body info?

I just got confirmation that it is either a American standard or a American strat plus... Everything on the body the pool design is 100 percent factory... So what could it be worth? Fender emailed me just now....

No its not rare. American standard spec late 80s through mid 90s. Looks like alder. It is probably two piece, though.

Re: Stratocaster body info?

It is rare and what rare about it is the route... I'm at a fender dealer now..

The swimming pool route was used on the American Standard from 1986 through 1993. It's not a bad thing. It doesn't adversely effect tone or sustain and it reduces weight.

Re: Stratocaster body info?

Was just told it is a 600 dollar body... Thank u everyone for all your info... It is a one of a kind piece

Nope I dont buy it

Who stands at a dealer posting to a forum

The route is common

The body is not rare

OP just trying to create a market for his wares

Re: Stratocaster body info?

If it's a Strat Plus it will have a tremsetter installed in the back. But I'm not sure if they were offered in that finish.
