Hi James

I have a JB customised Stratocaster....In fact that's my guitar in the last picture.

John Birch would apply those blobby Fender decals to anything he felt like back in the day - over the years, I've seen cheapo late '60's/early '70's Jap Strats, Jap Teles (I've got one of those) and all sorts...as @WezV says above, it seems a case of "anything goes". I would be very surprised if it was substantively original.

That bottom E would bug the hell out of me.

Funny enough, I have a guitar and the only way to get it to stay in tune is to run the low E like that. Weird and annoying. Tried 2 different nuts as well.

Interesting. A Strat can actually look anorexic.
