That NEVER happens at either of my pawnshops.  And I say mine because i work at two of them.  balcks quiier strat black squier strat warlock warlock warlock warlock (ad nauseum)

There was that one 63 duo-sonic, but it wasn't worth much more than i paid for it.

Here she is all cleaned up:

I don't know what the pickups are they used in these, but it sounds very full and sweet and lots of variance in tone between the switch positions.

I like it alot, but to tell the truth... for $5500?  No way.

The one I built is nearly as nice, IMO. The sound is not as nice, but that could be fixed.  The assembly and  relicing is just as good (if I may say so myself).  And mine is lighter...

For once, I'm lost for words. I'd say "you bastard" again if I didn't know you're actually a really nice guy :)

Nice one Doug!

I'm kind of surprised with the invention of ebay etc. that these pawn guys still let these slip through like this - especailly strats!
