Right?

But I think she's got a refinish job, hard to think it's been like that since the '63.

That one would scream..beware to me.

Headstock/neck too much wear, but the clean around the decal while 100% intact and a 24' neck - that's a Mustang neck that was repurposed to its higher $$ brother I'm willing to bet.

Also, should have an L serial neck plate, and obvious refin. Likely replacement chrome as well - WAY too shiny versus neck PU and dot discoloration.

But did you see the purple? :joy:

And you're right, chrome and paint job way too shiny compared to pickup covers and fretboard.

The purple distracted me, but I cannot be distracted from 'something is off' - but $200 for the body, sure.

PURPLE!

Purple mic, even if it doesn't look just like a Telefunken U47!

Yeah, that thing's great & didn't last long. :cry:

Also, I wish I liked Strats and had a spare $2,700:

If it was purple lucite, I might just pull out the purple credit card (Yes I have one) to pay for it.

I was just about to post that Aluminati. Why is it four grand? It's recycled bottles and cans.
