Hey everyone,

I recently acquired this Strat and have a question about it. When I started looking at it everything points to it being legit. There’s only one thing that is throwing me off about it and I hope someone has an answer. When looking at the back of the headstock the serial number and anniversary badge have been switched. Typically the badge is at the point of the headstock and the serial number in the middle. This guitar it’s backward. Anyone have an explanation or have seen this before? You can see in the last picture. Any incite would be appreciated.

It is correct....the serial on a Deluxe is on the ball of the headstock....though the serial number is an '05, your guitar is an '06 model due to the 60th annv tag....

Great looking guitar....congrats and enjoy....
