This is a new purchase anybody recognize it?? serial number says it's a 78. S88xxxxThe trembler's been messed with has a steam rave on with the wami bar on the top but the bodies didn't cut away to facilitate that not sure why and the body is cut for humbucker. Not sure if it's factory... will open it up in a minute. Ground wire on tremolo needs soldering yoo.

That's bizarre. Someone had a thing for SRV.

I'm certainly not an expert on Fenders, though I'd expect a 78 Stratocaster to have 21 frets, a large headstock, bullet truss rod, and a three bolt neck plate. I don't know nothin' about a trembler with a steam rave.

That routing around the trem looks suspect. Wondering if they thought that would allow them to add more trem springs.......
