2000 model year American Deluxe Strat. I think I got it in 2002 as a Christmas present from my grandparents. Before that I was playing on a {censored}ter no name acoustic with country flavored accents on the pickguard that used to belong to my aunt. I think it was probably a late 70s to early 80s guitar. I still have it somewhere but the nut broke in half so it only has 3 strings lol.
