What year was it made?

I'd say 1656 or thereabouts.

Thats what I thought as well...

Gassage

Am I missing something? 1656?

Is that the year that didn't exist?

Don't really like sunburst strats and never like tort guards.

But none of that matters if it plays well and sounds great.

So, does it?  I'm guessing it does but curious about what made you buy it - at the end of the day its a copy, not a Fender and given the other guitars in your fine collection, I'm a bit surprised.

Need an 8 hole black single ply guard on it to make it more. Esp' with that lovely dark fingerboard.

OK- I picked it up and it was like every single thing is spot on. That's why I bought it.

Can't argue with that. I love it, personally.

Like has been said, the early ones, good 'un's. Well bought @Gassage, and IMO, steal of a price.

Good enough reason!  Enjoy!

It's also uber light, the Fralins sing and the neck's lovely.

Stop justifying yourself man. 

• You wanted it. 
• You could afford it. 
• It made you happy. 
• Job done.

I cringed when I saw "nash" but... That's probably the best looking Nash I've seen.

And if it's good enough to compare with previous strats of yours (and christ knows you've had some stunners...) it must be a great guitar.

Happy ngd

To be fair, it was probably me asking him to justify it! 

But I was genuinely curious - and it sounds like its a stunner to play. Good gas all round.

I'd add- always being the epitome of unpredicatability, I just banged out Time and On the Turning Away and this could fast become my number one guitar. So nur nur.
