Vintage Epiphone strat?

kurdtCobain

I just bought a red Epiphone strat at a yard sale for $60,I was wondering if it was vintage because it has cream knobs and pickups and the head stock says Epiphone by Gibson and all the strats i've played before just said Epiphone.So anyway is this a vintage axe? and if it's a vintage how can i find out what year it is?

in detail this is what mine looks like

red finish with matching head stock

maple neck

cream knobs and pickups

not that ugly.The body has a Hendrix vibe 😎

mines pretty much a win because it has some really sweet single coils in it 😎 i'm not sure if the pick ups have been changed but these sound really good compared to the ones in my other strat copy.

You REALLY should have put that money into finishing that damn tele bass.

But I guess priorities are for people with responsibilities 😀
