I say yes as I am looking at the Sweetwater site at what I "need" including pickups, which are in the cart.

Anyone that spends that much on a guitar isn't going to play it.

Agreed but to me that defeats the purpose of owning a guitar. I mean I get owning a piece of history, etc but my guitars are not wall candy by any means. I guess if you have that kinda cash available you can basically do what you want.

as far as i know, thats the most money ever paid for a strat... so far. id be surprised if the black strat didnt go for more considering how iconic it is even if its a partscaster

Hendrix White Strat has the record -i think over 2 million.

There are a couple of charity guitars that went for more -like Tsunami and Hurricane relief strats.

Yeah that would be Paul Allen, he has all sorts of expensive toys. The woodstock strat is just another bauble in his collection.
