Hey Richard,
Thanks a lot and glad you like the lesson!
That is indeed a Fender Strat, albeit a pretty beat up one. That guitar was actually given to me in used condition many years ago. I recall being told that it had been used by a guitarist in a punk band, and who knows what it had been through prior to that. But yeah, the previous owner scratched out the Fender logo for some reason. Really too bad! She’s an oldie but a goodie though. š
