Other trades considered
The 79 Anniversary strat was made to celebrate 25 years of Fender strats 1954 to 1979.
Everything on it is standard as it left the factory except the hardcase which is a non fender item.
I bought this in 1992 from Route 66 in Hanley Stoke on Trent. I have used it very little as I mainly gigged Telecasters for most of the time. I have never felt the need to take it apart so have never looked under the pickguard or removed the neck.
It has a great sounding set of pickups. It comes in a hardcase but not the one it would have been supplied in. The case is the one that it was in when I bought it.
It has some wear on the maple of the fretboard at the first fret which has been relaquered before I got it. There are lots of small chips and scratches all over it. It is in exactly the same condition as when I bought it.
I response to a request the weight is quite heavy at 8.5 lbs approximately. The neck is a chunky roundback profile

Is this the one?
BTW these are not identical to a 64.

EDIT: Also, I would take the screws out of the pickguard and take a pic as this will definitely affect the final price.
The images in the opening post appear to have been taken in a bedroom.
Blast from the past for me, as in 1992 I was living round the corner from Route 66 in Hanley.
You're wrong. It is identical to a '64 except for the finish, pickups, bridge, scratchplate, knobs, pickup covers, selector switch, neck shape, headstock shape, string trees, tuners and decal.
Take the comments as good advice, it just makes the eBay ad sound like you don’t know what you are talking about and may put potential buyers off, which would be a shame as this is a very cool guitar.
I have been posting for years on Basschat but obviously the fretboard has different protocols.
