MIK Stratocaster questions...

[Dooger]

Hello all. I have posted over on the tele side, once, lol.

ANyway i am looking at a stratocaster which is decaled:
"Fender Stratocaster made in Korea".
It is a light body guitar (feels the same weight as my squier '51, but lighter than the peavey reactor) with a very slim neck. Smallish headstock with gotoh tuners. Has a stock trem bridge with stamped "fender" saddles. The neck is a rosewood. There are black lines underneath each fret, as if "this is where the fret goes" type of marking. I have tried to figure this guitar out. The serial number is
E1040504. No mention of Squire anywhere on the guitar. I had come to the conlusion that all strats MIK were squier models. I am interested in the guitar... Has a little buzz on the low E string and the bridge PU was noisy. but the middle PU was clean sounding don't recall how the neck PU sounded. Has a five way switch.

Can anybody enlighten me as to what the body is made of?
Thanks for reading.

A lot of Fender's Special Runs are from there....

Don't know why but i wanted this guitar. The frets show wear and it is old and kinda of beat up. [It comes by its looks honestly ;>) ] But i liked the looks of this guitar. ANyway, Took the neck off and snapped a few pix. Cleaned the neck, and applied some old english stuff to it. First time restringing a guitar. Put the cover on back before putting the strings in, Doh. I raised the saddles to try and stop the buzzing on the low E and A strings. Has helped a little. Been thinking about tweaking the truss rod but will wait and play it a little bit before i go that route. ANyway this and the peavey are my learning guitars.
