I was wondering about these guitars right before I ran into this thread. I remember seeing them at the factory in Fulleton back in the late 70s. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. I never ever saw them in stores or anywhere else! They had funky colors like a grayish light metal blue. They came out at the same time when the 25th aniversary Strat had come out. I believe they had problems with the finish on the Strats.

"Problems" is an understatement. I ran across a 1980 Lead II a couple of weeks that had hands-down the worst used finish I've ever seen on a guitar: checked, cracked and wrinkled so badly it must have hurt to rub your arm across it. CBS Fender's quality control really sucked. I almost bought it anyway as a project, but it ended up selling at auction for about $425. I walked.
