Bought it 20 years ago from a flipper/dealer (high price) don't know original owner or city.  Still new or mint in deluxe hardshell case, includes hang tag with lots of cool info and Police I.D. # on it.  Also has mint Owner's Manual.  Flawless orignal white nitro-cellulose lacquer, and beautiful matching headstock with gold scripts.  All original hardware ad electronics in pristine cnditon, neckplate and whole back of of The Strat is immaculately finshed and shiny too.  I love the great big Brassmaster Bridge and gleaing 22K Gold plating.  Trem works beatifullywith orignal springs and gold tremolo arm.  Deep V-neck profile, but very precise or fine cut and not too fat.  Outstanding maple finish.  Has true fiber bobbin pickups, grey if I remember correctly... and the X1 bridge.  9 sound switch and nice knurled gold knobs, feel like fine jewellery, fun and easy to use.  My favorite time capsule Strat.
