:look: This seems to be simular to the red model we saw at Electrafest. Will be a good project guitar and has no reserve.

Definitely has piqued my interest. Would make a nice companion for the 'fishmouth', or spur - as I've been told it is commonly called...

Gotta keep an eye on this baby...

Yes exactly. PCM strats were like Hondos, made by Kasuga. Hard to say if this is Korean made or earlier than that.

So, did anyone from here nab this? It went by my max bid early, and I'm a bit broke ATM. I should probably finish the projects I have and / or thin the herd a bit as well before picking up anything else, but it would be cool if she came home to a member of the family, so to speak. :)

Glad to see a forum member scored it. I think it will be a fine example when cleaned up and given a little TLC. Congrats

:x :x :evil: :evil: :cry: Sorry to hear that is was junk. I try to look over all of the items before I post them on the forum. It looked authentic from the photos but that is one reason why E Bay is dying a slow death I think. I will endeavor to get myself some BETTER GLASSES and will review future posts more closley. Thanks
