Back in the Radish days of the mid-late 90s, Ben Kweller would often be seen playing a red Fender Stratocaster. Ben got the guitar for his 11th birthday in 1992, and states it was a MIM. This can also be confirmed by the presence of a truss rod hole, the single string tree, the straight "stratocaster" rather than the curved version often seen on other models, no decal on the very end of the headstock, and rosewood fretboard.
Also clearly at some point in the six years between receiving it and playing it on the Weird Al show, he snapped off part of the pick guard.

"I got my first guitar on my 11th Birthday. It was a Red Fender Stratocaster that was made in Mexico. Soon after learning how to play guitar I formed the bands Mirage, Fox Glove and Digitalis. When we were teenagers, John Kent and I formed the group Radish. Eventually we left High School to pursue Rock and Roll for good"
