MIM 1996 strat for 250. black with white pickguard and maple neck. But the guitar is in rough shape. The bridge is rusty and same with the pickups. Is it a bad thing. It does not look vintage just rusty. But the sound is amazing.
And this one. Dont know the year.

Nothing looks suspicious.

The white one is real. And priced fair. "Better" would come down to individual taste, so take the one that plays the best or sounds the best. Otherwise, I would take the white one :)

What will rust do to 3 single coil pickups. there is nothing shiny about them. And what will it do to the bridge. The bridge is worse on the top part of the bridge. Dont know how to post the pic off guitarcenters website.

i would take either, depending on how rusty the one is. surface rust doesnt bother me.
ya gotta be careful how things are worded. people just use the wrong words sometimes.
im very interested in the sig though. i would look close to that one, ya never know whos it is.

Location: In a house....unless I'm at work....then I'm in a shop.
I would get the white one.

And who knows, that signature may turn out to be worth something.
