    Lemmo first of all you’re a great host and a fantastic player so I apologise for being pedantic but that guitar is not what collectors refer to as a Dan Smith Strat it’s a Standard Strat produced from mid 83 to late 84 a budget Strat made to reduce costs Bill Carson referred to it as “The Stratocaster in its worst configuration.”
    Dan Smith Strats or to give them their correct title “The Smith Strat” were only made for a very short time in 82. Some of the features that guitars referred to as “Dan Smith Strats” have are three control knobs, a vintage style trem, F stamped tuners, truss rod adjustment at the heal and a Black Fender logo with Stratocaster in huge black capitals on the headstock. I’m only pointing this out because here in the U.K. Smith Strats tend to sell for around £1000 more than two knob Standard Strats.
    If you want to see a Dan Smith Strat in action check out “Big Country - Porrohman (The Tube 17/2/1984) on RUclips, here you can see Stuart Adamson, Big Country’s frontman, playing a “Smith Strat”.

      Yes when CBS sold Fender to Bill Schultz’s investment group their Fullerton facility was not included in the deal so from February to October 1985 Fender didn’t produce any guitars in the USA. Fender Japan kept Fender going until they got new premises at Corona and sorted other teething problems out.

    The 1983 strat is the reason I am a telecaster person today. Way back when I was 13 my mom took me in to get my first real guitar. (Which I worked for) Took one look at the 2 knobs, output jack, and that funky tremolo system 😢 and settled on a gold bowling ball telecaster. 40 years later, still play teles, still have the 83 tele, and a few strats as well.

    Idk why but I've been on a lemmo binge lol
    Edit: I just realized my brother has the same model, year, and everything his is just switched out with a Seymour Duncan hot rail in the bridge. It was my dad's brother in law's guitar at first but, he got scared that my dad's sister would kill him if she found out how much he paid for it lol, so he changed the bridge pickup and gave it to my dad and it eventually got passed onto my older brother.

    If it hasn't already been said, that is not the original case. Fender cases of that era were rectangular. That looks like a late 1980s or early 1990s Fender case. I'm also surprised you didn't expand on the uniqueness of the bridge on that guitar. I think the tremolo, master tone, and pickguard mounted output jack were all CBS-era cost cutting efforts and not to the benefit of the instrument. The coolest guitars of this era were the "bowling ball" finished ones! This is significant as the end of the CBS era guitars since Fender would be sold in 1985 and US production would not resume until 1986. Excellent demo as always! \m/
