MGR/You Know who this is.G and L Skyhawk
Published on 05/27/03 at 15:00Bought new in 1985 for $800 in Minneapolis Minnesota.

Nothing.
Perfect paint and metal access covers instead of plastic. The tuners stay in tune.
If you can still find a '84 or '85 Skyhawk .......... buy it. Then you can take your Strat to the store and sell it or trade it in.
