I'm far from a Fender expert but I'd guess it's was originally a red 62 RI Strat that's had the finish removed and an aftermarket trem fitted.

Cheap, I hope, what with the horrific 80s disaster dive-bomb trem & the Ronseal refin...

Doesn't appear to have a locking nut, which renders the locking vibrato mechanism useless.

It's a Kahler trem. Not sure if that helps.

interesting.... part of the deal if you want to try it out pre sale, is to bring a coax cable. i guess so he can watch TV whilst you try the guitar????
