Damn. I don't like Strats for the most part. But that's just nice.
Yes, not really my preferred choice of weapon either, but it does look interesting.
I don't expect it will fetch top dollar investment money, the neck doesn't match the body and it's had some mods over the years, but it does look good if you're after the well worn relic look, a sort of Rory Gallagher
Messin' with the Kid thing.
That scratchplate though, you just can't replicate that greening of the white other than by age, a bit like LP Junior tortoise pick guards from that era, pretty difficult to fake age convincingly.
After the initial flurry of bidding, it started at just £1, it looks like it's now gone quiet and I expect will remain so until probably the last 60 minutes.
It wouldn't surprise me if it went for near 10k at the end, possibly even more if there's a bidding war in the last few minutes, but we'll have to wait and see.
