I'm liking it.

I love the 50th anniversary guitars, I played one like yours in a local shop when they first got it in. I don't even mind the repositioned trem.

I do wish fender had put a better bridge on, and if they'd colour-matched the headstock...

Ha ha, I love the way they bleat on about how identical the guitars are, then at the last minute, mention that one of them is chambered! So not identical at all then.

I think the 70's headstock is the best thing about it! The rest I can take or leave.

Looks like an American Special Strat:

cool vid.

the soundtrack makes me realise where the kaiser chiefs nicked the M8 from for ruby ruby ruby! check out around the 1:47 mark.

Cool, glad to my estimate wasn't too far off!

Good luck with the sale, I'd have it if I had the money!

I saw the ad for this, have you had much interest at that price?

That's nuts! Those frets above the 15th aren't going to see much action...

well I thought it was quite funny.

My estimate probably was a bit high. Still, somebody had to start somewhere...

somewhere between 1.5 & 2k maybe?

Inevitably, that look will come back into fashion so it might be worth hanging onto it. Or pre-empt the hair metal revival & start playing it NOW, with the hair & keks.

Ensure that your hair and pants are like that dude's before you attempt to play it.

hideous

forget about a wall of marshalls, that keyboard player's got a wall of synth!

That thing is pimped fo sho.

One day we might look back and view relicing in the same light...

This will make you barf:

ebay

It sold from £460 - just goes to show...

its probably taken quite a lot of man hours to get it looking as "good"

I definitely agree there, must be days of work gone into it. In terms of time = money, I reckon the seller probably made quite a loss.

Dunno if you've already looked on ebay, but there's a mustang body blank on at the mo - uk seller too. The seller mentions that it can be machined to your spec.

Might be worth asking a uk luthier if they could make you one? The templates are easy enough to get hold of.
