    Vintage USA Fender - Original?

    Hello!

    I would like to ask for a help. I would buy this Fender Stratocaster. It said to be original, made in the 70's in USA, but I'm not sure. Could you help me? Could it be original really? What do you think? Thank you very much!

    Need to know that a previous owner installed a Bartolini pickup instead of one of the pickups, with an additional two-way switch. But this is replaced later back to its (said to be) original pickup. The "hole" in the body is because of this switch, the place of the switch (can be seen in the fourth photo).

    Unfortunately, the Fender market has become so polluted and diluted that unless you can show provenance, nothing should be considered original.
