Sounds like somebody could've switched the neck from a STD strat (JPN or MXN) and put a USA neck on it. I cant recall any red USA strats that a Vintage trem and the seriel doesnt really depict a reissue from what ive seen. The USA reissues usually have a seriel number startin with a V to designate is being a vintage reissue. Pics would help if you get some. what shade of red is it? Fiesta red, Candy Apple, Metallic red, dakota red?..

I seem to recal the <u>US made California Strat (010-1400)</u> had a vintage style trem, 21 frets and was available both in Candy Apple Red and Fiesta Red.
They were made available second half of the 90's.

According to the serial number this one is made in 1991...

Yes, I know, N1 indicates 1991 or 1992, this remains a bit of a puzzle: the neck cannot be from an American Standard of this period because it had 22 fret's.
Does the decal of the serial looks original (maybe a picture of it)?
Did you dissassemble it? Any indication in the neck pocket or pickup cavities? Any indications on the Pots (for dating them)?

PS. I know N9 serials were found on both 1990 as 1999 models, I don't know of this could have been the case for other years also?
