Duchossoir in The Fender Stratocaster- Hal Leonard 1994, Page 30, the "Mary Kaye" reissue was the very first limited edition produced by the newly established Custom Shop. It was always considered as the best of Fender aesthetics and the accurate reissues built by the custom shop form 1987-1989 reproduced all of its beauty"Closet queen very clean. I don't think you can say it is in that mint, as new, straight out of the box, showroom condition because it has aged somewhat whilst sitting in its hard case. hardware like new, single layer pick guard starting to age gracefully. The finish while is immaculate has one or two very minor clear coat splinters an there is a small chip in the lacquer in the top of the head stock on the edge, and some very light scratches in the lacquer on the back from maybe rubbing up against pants.

This wonderful '57 Reissue Fender Stratocaster is a rare edition made by Fender in the late 80's. It could have been made anytime between 1987 and 1989.
