It looks good, I've always liked that stain. Do note that the Bridge pickup has been changed, mounting holes are on ends like a strat pickup, so bridge has been drilled. This may not be such a bad thing as the original pickups are a bit primitive.

I am contacting him to see if we can exchange phone numbers. "Hutch", MN is about a 3 hour drive from me but I hope to get more info on this one's history first.

Yikes is right. I'm starting to think our "bargain" guitars are going mainstream.
