Purple Sparkle Strat

Post by westtexasred »

This one is at Cowtown Guitars but they just got an identical one at my local store. It came from the same guy who brought in the Supro 1540 Bemuda. It came originally in a double gigbag with a matching bass. It really looks cool in person. The sparkle effect is deeper and more 3 dimensional with smaller flecks than the J.Mascis Jazzmaster.

I think they want $1700. Actually the one at my friends store is different because it has a matching headstock and a rosewood fretboard and the trem cover is white pearl like the pickguard.

The one in the picture at the top is a 1994 Custom Shop. The one at my friends store was made in the 2000's. I don't think that one was made by the Custom Shop but I am not sure. I have to look at it again(it is in the back room. It was put on consignment by a collector from Omaha. It comes in a double gigbag which is the original case. It came with a matching bass guitar,but the owner doesn't want to sell the bass.
