Topic: Goldie replica Stratocaster

Hello fellow Bonamaniacs,

I was not planning on ever selling the Goldie Stratocaster that I built from Fender licensed parts, I don't play it very often. I'm getting into what I think "my sound" is and I'm trying to sell two guitars every time I get a nice vintage one.

I don't have pics of the Goldie I built, but you can see it here.

0-45 seconds
2:20-4:40

I'm a graphic designer, and I re-created all of the stickers on the back of the guitar.

Joe signed one of the stickers on the back, but please disregard that aspect of the piece when considering its value. I am a super fan and I don't want to profit from JB's signature.

Other specs:
The guitar is noticeably heavy in weight, which is consistent with every Gold sparkle strat I've ever grabbed.
Decal on the front (girl on phone) is identical to the original Goldie, not a remake but an original make decal.
Body is NOT relic'd and neither are the decals.
Body cavity is shielded with conductive paint for better noise isolation.
It has a lefty strat guitar neck with vintage-style Fender tuners that work better than any I've used. I rounded the edges on the fretboard so it would play very comfortably.
It has Charlie 5 pickups in it handmade by Smitty's handwound pickups out of Nashville.
Schaller strap-lock strap buttons
no case

Shoot me an offer.
If you don't want the pickups, or the neck, just let me know in your offer.
If you require pics, shoot me a message and I'll find some to send you. If you'd like a youtube video of it playing, I can find time to do that next week. In no super rush to sell.

Great it stays within the Family!  Great score ... couldn't be duplicated (and as well) for that $!

Re: Goldie replica Stratocaster

I'm extremely happy it stayed within the Bonamassa super-fan family!
AND that it's not being hung up in some bar (for display only) or purchased by some flipper with the intent to sell at a profit.
