Stratty

I Love those purple strats!

Purple Haze. I like it.
Good luck.

The one I got had a neck with a rosewood fretboard on it. I like maple fretboard necks over rosewood boards, and I'm not a fan of the 41mm nut width of Affinity model Strats. I looked around for several months to find a maple fretboard neck that also had a wider nut width (43mm) that would fit my Affinity body. I finally found one and made the swap. The fact that you found one on ebay with a maple fretboard is unusual. How much is the going bid for the ebay guitar? Is the USA ebay or another country?

That purple is the original factory color. There are only a few around. No one seems to know how many but they seem to be very limited in number. They mostly seem to be from the year 2000...mostly from Indonesia like mine, but some seem to be from China. Some guys feel that they were a special order color for the old Mars Music company, who were later bought out by Guitar Center. I got mine from Craigslist from the original owner who lived near a former Mars Music store in Falls Church, Virginia, so that theory might be true. I had to have it since my wife's favorite color is purple (mine, too, really). When I saw it on Craigslist, I leapt on and got it for $60. Not a scratch on it. I put the maple/maple neck on it from a Mexican Squier and dropped a prewired J20 Alnico 5 pickguard from GuitarFetish in it. It really rocks.
