Is this the "Goldie" Auction? (Page 5 of 8)

Thanks Jane. I've seen those and a couple others that are in actuality, speculation. I was hoping for something more definitive. But I understand if Joe & co would rather not reply until later.

A cool and even $40K...yeah, that's it!

Recession?  Crisis? What crisis? Oh.  In that case.......the rich *******s will pay even MORE to show off!
$69,000

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,

Hey Jay! How did your guitar turn out? I want to see pictures!

Welcome Bill.

I was wondering the same and found this from a old thread here.

Below is snippet from that Tonequest report that mentions the Gold Strat
and what was used on Blues Deluxe

TQR: You also had a couple of other Strats that you
played…

I usually play the Chandler Strat, but I wore the volume pot
out and we haven’t had a chance to replace it yet. The backup
to that is what you saw me playing, and it’s a ‘92 or ‘93 Strat
Plus that I got from Fender way back when, with Lace
Sensors in it. The gold sparkle Strat is a Custom Shop body
with a ‘65 neck and wiring harness and pickups. It’s some

thing that I put together. My dad had bought a case with
the neck and wiring harness in it and he didn’t know what he was
going to do with it. He doesn’t like selling non-original guitars
made from different parts, so I put it together.
Originally, the gold guitar had a maple neck on it,
and once I put everything together with the ‘65
neck that guitar just exploded with tone. It plays great and
really stays in tune. Eventually, all three of the pickups had to
be rewound, and I had Lindy Fralin rewind them.

TQR: Are there any guitars that were predominant on
Blues Deluxe?

I brought a lot of vintage Strats to that session, but the best
one for that record was a sunburst ‘65. I had the matching
pair of ‘63 Strats that were built one day apart that I brought,
but they were both a little darker and not as punchy as the
‘65. When I go into the control room and listen back to the
guitar, I want everything to be really forward, like that
old Billy Gibbons Pearly Gates sound. Oddly enough, the least valuable
of all the vintage Strats I brought to the
session turned out to be the winner, which says something
about the whole vintage guitar thing… For the clangier
rhythm tracks, I used the Esquire.

Hope this answers your question.

Stay Safe

I think you are quite low. Look at the Marketplace listing for the ANDY Strat!

BTW, Joe will not be bidding on the guitar.
