My local shop has a 2000 American Road House Stratocaster the was a special order made for Mars Music in 2000. I have heard different storys about how many were made either 50 or 100 in 2 colors Red Sparkle and Teal Sparkle both have matching headstocks. The one at the store is the Red Sparkle and it is gorgeous. Looks just like Dorthy's Ruby Slippers.

what do you thing a strat like that is worth?

Here is a Teal one

I think that's lovely: I'd rather have the teal, though.

i would imagine it would command a pretty penny, upwards of $2k in the right circles (the ones where you're jerking off your neighbor).

They want $1500. It's a consignment piece so the don't have much room to deal until the owner gets desperate.

The most I would pay for it would be around $1000.

I don't think that model Fender is going to be particularly rare in the future. It's just a hunch, though. As far as used American Standards go, you can get one for $700-900 USD.

I prepare the teal one, personally.

i'm beginning to think that guitar would benefit greatly from neck binding.

If they made either 50 or 100 of course it's going to be rare. You probably mean sought after.

Sought after, yes. I didn't read the quantity made--but my statement before still stands.

I went to my friends store today. Tried to take a picture but they are kinda blurry. In person it looked even better than I remembered.

I always thought it would be cool to get a scumbag silver jagmaster and spray it with trans red so it'd have red sprakles like that.

piss

is it that easy to make the scumbagness go away?

Mages · Post by **Mages** » Thu Feb 18, 2010 3:23 am

we'll never know until we try!

the og candy apple red was just trans red over shoreline gold so I think it would work similarly on the silver sprakles.

Think it is worth $1000? It is an American Roadhouse Strat(not a Standard).

hotrodperlmutter · Post by **hotrodperlmutter** » Thu Feb 18, 2010 5:24 am

as stated before, in the right circles. i think it's worth $1k considering the mexi road-worn shit is going for like $800 - $900 new.
