The store where I purchased my Silver Star has just posted another one for sale... its a SS40 - cream colored with rosewood fingerboard. Missing the tremelo arm, and it looks like the pickguard and two of the pickup covers were swapped for white instead of black. It has the spaghetti type silver star logo (earlier version). Best of all, they are asking only 22,000 Yen - which is equivalent to $177 US. The WILL ship internationally (at least they did when I bought mine). Email me if you would like the website address.
