well, to be finicky, mine is a '67 copy actually with some incorrect detail.
The pickguard: according to Tony Bacon in 1965 the pickguard became 1 ply 11 screws for a (short??) period (CBS era, large headstock)

i never seen one. I recall that 11 screwed pickguard is a bit different starting from '65 because the up screw between neck and middle pick up return back near the middle single coil cover (like the '54-'59 era)... so who knows if there is around a '67 single plyed PG strat?
'65-'66 maple neck (1 piece like mine) didn't exist but was an option for '67-68. So mine could be a '67 maple option copy

. The current copy has a different truss rod head (at the nut, not at the end of the neck) though.
in '68/'69 strats had 3 ply scratch plate for sure but
slab maple board and different logo
correct '66
'68-'69 (Hendrix belonged) slightly different tuners and fretted maple neck...
