Aloha to all,
I bought this Strat 8 years ago. I was told that it is a Japanese re-issue and wasn't worth a great deal. It plays like a champ and apart from a few minor dings looks great.
Just recently I took another look at it and noticed FSRG Revival stamped on the saddles. Could it be a Fernandez?

You'll know for sure if you ever take the neck off. You'll find its true origins stamped on the neck or in the pocket most likely.

Could be a partscaster... Pull the neck, like Spudman advised. "Licensed by Fender" on the heel indicates an aftermarket neck.

Thanks Spudman, I'll do that on the next string change.
