HUH!!! THIS IS IT... A HIGHLY COLECTABLE AND EXTREMELY RARE, ALL THE STUFF I READ ABOUT THE E2 BIG HEAD S-BOLT ARE GUESSES AS TO HOW MANY AND HOW THEY GOT MADE WHEN THEY WERE DISCONTINUED IN 1981!! WHEN THE NEW FOR 1982 USA STRAT WAS CLEARLY THE HIGHLY PUBLICIZED BACK TO SMALL HEAD 4/BOLT SMITH STRAT!! SOME SAY THEY WERE MADE FROM 1981 BODIES AND NECKS THAT WERE RETURNED FOR DEFECT OR LEFTOVER 1981 PARTS, THEN RE-MADE INTO A 1982 VERSION OF THE 3-BOLT BIG HEAD STRAT!! ONLY THIS NECK AND BODY WERE CLEARLY MADE IN 1982!! THE HEADSTOCK & BODY E2 SERIALS CLEARY MATCH ON THIS BEAUTY WITH ALL PARTS EXCEPT FOR LATE 1981 POTS, BEING 1982 AS WELL!!
