Re: The Black Strat....
That’s the highest ever, right?
It’s so funny... a 1969 Body that’s been chopped and hacked for a multitude of crazy options (Kahler, Humbucker, XLR, etc.), who knows what number neck it’s on, it’s got the iconic pickup configuration, but even that’s different on every album. Still, it’s an iconic enough guitar for enough of us that it went for that amount. Wild! Even the red Pulse guitar went for over $600K!
Why does the Christie’s app show $3.975M? Is that with fees?

Re: The Black Strat....
That sure is an iconic guitar and I just love Stratocaster guitars in general. If I had mega millions on me I would have definitely bought that guitar. The first thing I would do is slap on a new set of strings (10-46 EB). Then I would refit this historic black Strat with new trem system to complete the overall look.

Every strat is a partscaster.
There is nothing magical about the neck and body that a factory worker bolted together.
Its only the mindless prejudice of the musician that somehow thinks that the factory pairing of a guitar specifically designed around specific spare parts replacement is more meaningful.

+1 Which is why I haven't bought a new strat in a long time. Or why I don't flip to keep vintage Fender guitars.

Nearly $700K in fees. Not a bad business to be in, I guess.
What a racket!

If it's a Fender licensed neck, it's original spare part, and guitar can be sold as original as far as I've understood.
