I was just looking at a FOR SALE..FotoFlameTop, MIJ..$475 asking price. with Hardshell case and misc. Mint condition supposedly. and the MIJ / CIJ website.
MIJ is Basswood bodies for the most part.
The biggest negative,IMO is the MIJ tremelo system with all the extra tuning knobs and that metal lock-down piece at the nut.....just one opinion.personal taste. The MIJ site goes over the tremelo's.
I saw a HM Strat-MIJ and it was around $300-400. 17" radius or something!! damn flat neck.
Seems I bought one for $180 no case, years ago...like Mint no case. I sold it for like $150 or $200, it was an E- s/n too. My friends still got it. Strange Pink/red paint with Active EMG's I never liked either. Batteries and all that crap.
E + 6 digits 1984 - 1989

That sounds like a joke.
