Help Identifying Strat (70's RI?)

First post - some of you might know me from TDPRI...

Can anyone help me identify or at least narrow down what this may be:



All I know is it MIM and from late 90's or 2000 - this is the only pic available.

Looks to be 70's RI headstock, decal and maybe even vintage tuners.

Sorry, not enough photos and not large enough either to tell much of anything.

Is there a list somewhere that has all of the strats released (or reissued) with the larger headstock?

Well...

I recieved the guitar Friday. I will get pictures up this week sometime. Here are a few of the specs you cant see in the picture above:

Bullett Truss Rod
3 bolt neck w/micro tilt
"F" Tuners
Gloss Poly neck finish
Serial number MN9XXXXX

I'm convinced, though once I get pictures up, I'm sure you guys can tell me one way or another.

it is a 70's reissue MIM as was suspected....

Yep, it's that list that convinced me - thanks. I have read that there was a run of MIM 70's RI's in the late 90's that only offered rosewood boards. That was changed for the current offering from 2002-today. Can anyone confirm this, and if so, what if any differences are there between the two?
