The posting says its a 50th anniversary strat, but I can't find any store links anywhere for it.
Can someone ID this and send me a link from a legit website?

For the benefit of those in the know on this website, who are legion, supply full length photos of the guitar front, and back. The headstock, front, and back, the neck plate, the bridge, and any other identifying marks which you feel might contribute to fact finding on your question. Make sure we have clear, readable images of any serial #'s or names of countries of origin imprinted on the guitar. :wink:

It appears to be to be a repro of Mr. Gilmour's coveted #1 strat :)

I've always wanted to have one myself :)

Ask the OP for what I asked of you. I would expect a detailed narrative description of the piece plus photos from a serious seller. If can't be provided....there are lots of fish in the sea.

POI: What do you 'doctor'?

Maybe its the pictures but it looks like chrome bridge and turners with gold screws in the pickguard and a gold tone string guide. :shock:

I thought that at first too, but I think the gold has just worn off the bridge.

8 screws; vintage pattern; Perhaps the color is off and we are looking at an MIM Shoreline Gold 50th Anniversary guitar.

That could be Doc the light or flash has made the color look very off.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I fear it isn't soup yet. Time to do some research.>>>>>>>>>>

Whoops!! The 50th Anniversary American Series Stratocaster had 11 screws. Back to square one. :? Maybe it's one of those light green finishes. :idea:

I remember that guitar. A beauty. You think that's it. :shock: Wow...the photo up top is way off? :roll: We really need numbers off the back to be of any further help. :idea:

Ha! Nice work, gentlemen! Kudos.

DoctorMikey, for the files (as if!), what's the asking price? Gotta track these values...
