That guitar looks very familiar to me. When I was a very young I bought a new made in japan Epi strat style guitar with the strat style headstock. It must have been 1973 because I used it at a concert in my school that year. The pickups looked exactly like that but it had three pickups like a strat. I've often wondered about that guitar because I never saw one again.
As far as I remember it was a very good guitar, I still remember the price of the guitar but not all details about it! A friend bought a 1962 strat at the same time at the same price
. A used Fender wasn't worth much back then.
