Two projects in one week!

No.....not an exact replica. The flag pattern and pickup configuration are not the same. Having said that, what started out as a $139 Leo Jaymz Strat (before picture included) turned out great! Jin-ho locking tuners, upgraded TUSQ nut, Agile 3100 Humbucker in the bridge (only soldering and went smooth), white knobs, white tip, white replacement covers on the original single coils and a Fender Tailpiece/Bridge I found in a parts box.
Needs to be strung up, but figured I post anyway. 2 for 2 on projects this week! I had a set of white SX single coils, but just left the stock single coils in for now. I enjoy screwing more than soldering.....

she looks great. I kinda want one for the flag..Looks like asian mahogany body wood from the amzon pics.
Cant see if it has a truss rod...and do they list neck pocket specs?

Truss rod access on the headstock. No listing of the neck pocket spec from what I can tell. I got the Flag Tele for Xmas and the Flag Les Paul last year...so had to grab this. Abalone dot inlays only drawback...not a Fender...but plays pretty well for what it is.

They currently come in a set with a Red White and Blue amp....$139! The amp is cool looking and not half bad for a cheapo. The tuners and the microphonic humbucker and the only real weak links...easy swap.

Congrats on the stellar deal. It looks great.
I looked at my too many strat pile and had to default to buying an American flag pickguard to curb my GAS.
Your' flag guitar got me going. I'll put the pickguard on a white body with some of my favorite pickups and that will be my proud citizen guitar statement.

Very cool! I am working on a Wayne Kramer tribute of sorts myself; will try and post pictures when it's done.

Like I said...not exact by any means, but have the humbucker, 2 white silver coils! Thanks for the pix.

Thanks for the Wayne Kramer inspiration. I do like MC5.
This is what I got:
