			My 72' Reissue Stratocaster Pink Paisley has a 3 bolt neck plate that has Made in Japan written on it. I know mine is original, as I am the original owner, and bought it new. Does your?? Mine also says Made in Japan as well as the E series serial number at the base of the neck, by the neck plate.
