Stratocaster Rhinestone [Objekt #4924] 1989 c.

This sculpted bronze Strat was part of a limited run in the mid-'70s, based around the work of John Douglas. Douglas used cast bronze over a fiberglass shell, and adorned the whole body with Rhinestones. Very few of these Rhinestone Strats were built and were destroyed in a fire. In the early 1990's Douglas made molds for a future run of a planned 50. There is a plaque set into the molding on the rear of the body, numbered x out of 50, this being #8. Douglas passed away, though, after only completing 25, making this "Rhinestone Stratocaster" a rare bird! Some of the 25 guitars used actual parts from the 70's, some used modern components, this one is all 70's.
Comes with 80s Fender case.
