Actually According to the serial number, its not an 89'.

According to the japan fender serial numers, E + 6 Numbers = 1984-1987

Based on my previous experience with Japanese Fenders I'd say yes, it's worth it, they're generally better than today's MIMs.
All IMVHO of course..

Limited experience but the few jap I played were great. Oh, I don't think '89 is vintage. :wink:

No, Vintage WHITE. I know 80's is not vintage. At least not for 2 more years lol.

What is considered vintage again lol? 30 + years or...? :)

I'm pretty sure the color is vintage white. I dont know what the japan's version of cream white is... I just called it vintage white.

Well, Thanks for your guys' replies. I couldnt stand the thought of letting this one go. It litterally ate at me for hours on end.

Here she is, brand new to the family. Fender Rep says its most likley an 86'-87' Fender Stratocaster MIJ.

Beautfiul for 21+ years. Plays great after my little quick set-up & lem-oil treatment.

Definatly needed a little love, but Ive seen 2004 + Guitars in worse shape :D

Droooooooool baby drool.
