Someone will have buyers remorse & it'll be in the classifieds here within a week...........

Not very good at estimating are they.

peteri

1954 Fender Strat, changed screws on the bridge clearly knocked the price down to only $95,000 so just $20,000 over high estimate.

It's all relative of course!

At this rate he's gonna single-handedly save the planet and solve global warming.

Is that the main black Strat or is that still to come?

Incidentally, looking at them choosing 3 zeros to preceed the serial number 1; I wonder what the total number of Fender Strats ever made is? More than any other model?

The black strat is the last one they're going to auction off.

peteri

Black Strat and The Wall Les Paul still to come.

The person that got the 0001 Strat had balls, there was someone on the phone and whatever they bid the person in the room just added $100k, they were going to win no matter what and money clearly isn't an issue for them.

Wondered if it was @Gassage, that not being the case - anyone seen @HarrySeven?

0001 isn't the first strat- it was a guitar built for Forrest White to take to a show. 0100 is the first one. I have played 0297.

really rich people really a bunch of cunts aren't they! at least some of their ill gotten wonga is going to good causes for a change, but a million dollars for an old D 35?  wondering what the black strat will go for - it's an old strat, nowt more or less.
