1,500 Euro shipped and paypalled in a Vanzandt gig bag, from Belgium.
The neck is a fat C and the frets vintage size. Plays very comfortably in spite of the small-ish frets. Probably something to do with the very nice neck shape. If you like Nocasters or the necks on the Navigator LPs, you'll like this.
It's always subjective, but for me this was the benchmark Strat in terms of tone and feel till I bought a great vintage Strat and a D'Pergo, so now it's surplus to requirements and I need to recover some funds.
I first played it about 7 years ago when it belonged to Harold, when we both still lived in Singapore, and it took me 2+ years to beg, cajole, implore him to sell it to me. He himself got it in a used guitar store in Singapore where it was listed for 2,500 Sing dollar at the time. I'm not sure about the model designations for this brand, but with the one-piece body and flame maple neck it must have been a high-end, limited edition. Frankly I don't really care for flame maple necks or bursts on Strats, but what makes it special for me is the way it vibrates and how the neck feels. If it doesn't sell I'll probably get the body refinished and keep it.
