Not Alain. I don't think. :)

Maybe Ceri finally got off of all that money he's been hoarding! :lol:

I wonder why they say it doesn't sound good?

Now why did you think that anyone would be interested to see a solid gold Strat on a Fender forum? Wow... you are soooo off-base! :lol:

Nice find!

The original article says it was an 'aluminum guitar'? With gold-plated strings? Maybe this is why it doesn't sound the best? Still, quite the wall display.....

The gold guitar was originally chromed. This collector shows one on his website .....An interesting read which goes some way into explaining what Custom Shop were up to at the time and what these aluminium hollow bodies sound like.
