Ive got a chance to pick up one of these in mint shape for $1100. Anybody know much about these? I know there texas specials, and a smaller neck. What else? Is this a good price? Collectable? Any info is appreciated!!!

I think they had a alder body and they had 3 tone sunburst and desert sunset they were from 1996-2001. I think you did fair on the price did you get the tweed case too? I seen them go for as cheap as $850 and I have seen them go for $1500. But that dont mean anything. They are a cool looking guitar.

This one is a 95 model in blue burst. Comes with the original tweed case. Looks great. I think I want it, but just want to make sure its a great guitar and worth the money!!

Desert Sunset is a slightly darker variant of Blue Burst. Blue Burst was available only on the Plus series guitars.

Here she is.

I had one years ago, I couldn't adjust to the narrow fingerboard and neck. They were mainly aimed at female players with small hands. They didn't sell well and due to their poor popularity I wouldn't consider them collectable.

Bob Dylan used a sunburst BR Strat regularly during the 1990s. He felt the narrower neck comfy.

Matt3310, you got yourself a nice guitar there, the narrow neck isn't for everybody but if your happy with it thats all that matters, i love blue-burst of any form !

I would not dismiss these as not being valuable some day. They are not easy to find and not in the mainstream, which I believe is the main reason for their lack of demand.
Nice find and enjoy..
