So as far as I can tell, it's a CIJ 1998-2004 range.
Body is light weight
Rosewood fingerboard
Fender Pure Vintage 65's is the only "upgrade"

I'm most excited to see that old G&L bass there- everybody knows about Strats, not everyone knows that G&L makes the best basses. What is that, an old SB-2?

It’s the less common version of the SB2 aka “Lynx”

Alan Gevaert of dEUS is wielding one of those for since forever.

There you go- that's awesome. Is that like 1985 or something?

I haven't had the neck off since maybe 1997, but I recall it having a March 86 build date on it.

Decided to do a service on the very light Strat. I don't recall the CIJ/MIJ Stratocasters having rough cut routes. Am I just getting old and that's how they came?

I did verify that this one does not have the Pure Vintage 65's but the PV59's A replaced pot. I also discovered that the MIM pickguards have the all but 4 of the 11 holes are about a mm off from each other.
