Here she is:
This was my pride and joy, but alas, I've switched to only playing bass, and she isn't getting played anymore. This is a partscaster. I'll list things to the best of my recollection below.
Unknown origin on the body, but it was stripped to bare, and refinished in Nitro laquer. White base coat, with Coral on top. It isn't laminate though, it is solid wood. If I had to guess, I'd guess basswood.
Single ply guard, looks to be mint to me, but is quite gnarly looking overall. Hardware has been relic'd with the exception of the tuners, and two of the tension springs. Tuners are brand new grover 18:1 locking tuners.
Headstock says Fender, but I'm assuming it isn't, as there is no serial number. On the back, stamped into the headstock is the word in block letters - "USED".
Pickups are as follows: Neck, middle, DiMarzio Area 58's, Bridge, Area 61. These are stacked single coils that end up noiseless as a result. You can read all about them on the interwebz. As I recall, the pots are CTS and a switchcraft jack, and the 5 way is a .... I forget, but it was a good one, not a cheapy. Oaks-grisby maybe? Is that a possible choice? Sorry, it's been over a year ago that I set this up.
Wiring is slightly different from a standard strat. No tone on the middle, and the tone is wired to the bridge pickup instead.
That's about all I can think of. Let's start it at $400 shipped and see what happens. I won't be all that sad if this doesn't sell.

Here's a clip with a guy playing these pickups and same wiring configuration:
