My new RARE white color Fender American Special Stratocaster. This was only in production for one year, 2010 for Guitar Center only. I was so lucky find her new and was still in the box. She was forgotten and stored in the stock room and was recently found over the weekend while GC was cleaning out their inventory. Got her at a clearance price also, since she is old stock, 2010 model. Got her $650 with gig bag out the door!!!!

Man, I would! Does it have the black pick? That strat guard should be clearance price, as its and older stock like mine. I think its too late to use their $150 off coupon, expired on Sunday, but should still be a great buy IMHO.

I got an american standard in olympic white also, as well as a 70s reissue in white which cost more than double than what I paid for the white American Special Stratocaster. I'm just so glad I found her, after trying for two years to get one in this color. I guess, its true what the say about being at the right place at the right time indeed. They just pulled her out of the box when I entered the store, saw the salesman putting the tags on her.

Especially after the much needed 'improvements' were done!

Don't be surprised if you don't find it in your local GC, as these white American Special Strats are no longer available. These were FSR limited run for GC only, and were only available in 2010. I lucked out finding mine brand new and still in the box over the weekend.

It appears to be a White Lone Star. I may be wrong, but that what it looks like to me.
