    I doubt any that you have will match it exactly. This looks like a short, squat strat. I'm guessing they pulled the bridge up to intonate with the 24 fret neck and cut the overall body length down a bit to keep the proportions right.

    Like I said, those 24's look like Dinky's to me. The 1989 catalog called them "Dinky Style", and strats were "Vintage Style". The 1992 catalog called them Dinky's, and the strats were gone. Maybe they had a marketing brain fart in 1990 - 1991 and just called everything "strats"? :dunno: This sort of trouble seemed to arise with the Ontario-plated ones. The SD ones are black-and-white, either Dinky's or Strats (as far as I've seen). But, I've got one Ontario-plated "androgynous" one.

    Anyway, yours is the only bonified 24-fret strat I've ever seen, assuming it is all original. If and when the Yellow snakeskin arrives and we're still friends, shoot me a PM if it is still up for grabs.

    EDIT: Well, it does look to have the same proportions as the silver strat but with the deeper cutout like you mentioned. Hmm.

            I'd guess that would have to be one of the last of the super strat bodies. Seriously cool.

              It's odd but I like it. Nice patina to it too, looks like a well kept player.

                  Weird indeed. Looks like it could've been a Jackson 'demo' model to show off their "graphics" department's skills.

                      That's a true 1990 Custom Shop piece.
                      That means someone actually ordered it that way!
