When I used to frequent the GSWGS back in the 1980s people were freaking out when bursts were selling for $4K to $8K, depending on condition.
Big deal.
AFA the actual example in the OP: I have never seen a single one. It is quite stunning, and on multiple levels. 8)
I'm glad the buyer found something so rare, and in such condition. What a **** find, IMO.

Yeah no kidding.... Kicking myself. Someone got a very sweet guitar. Maybe it will show up here one day?

But when my brother passed I got his CBS era 1978/79 Fender Stratocaster with the big head, one piece ash body, hard tail, three bolt neck, and a maple fret board. That guitar sings. Completely stock.
