Strat experts - does this look ok? Bidding ends in 35 mins...

67 reissue MIJ Strat in decent looking nick. No bids at 250. It's only 40 mins from me and I'm tempted. Is it too good to be true? Can't insert hyperlinks as am on iPad. But it's here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/67-reissue-fender-stratocaster-/251587219417?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a93c44fd9

Yeah it's a 50th anni, 1996, 67 MIJ strat in Ash. Probably...

Looks like somebody's caught the fingerboard trying to refret the first fret. No bigidy.

Bit of a bargain that. Fret dress and you're good.

Did you get it?

McToot

Nope. Sodding got beaten to it with 2 secs to spare. Had put in a bid of 280. Should've done 300. If someone puts a NGD on here, there'll be blood I tells ya.

Never bid round numbers. >:D<

@McToot. Fear not, this holy grail of instruments has recently been 'discovered', and could be yours. No bids yet, but could be a war over this one.

Not sure what makes that Strat worth £1k!!!!!  Have I crossed over into a parallel universe?

My favourite 'mint... like a newish pin' description too. Minus the crack in the neck, touch up to the paint etc.

I wonder whether he has informed the people running the asylum that that there may be people arriving to " play and scrutinise the instrument until their hearts content". 

I should think Billy Bibbit will land himself in hot water over this one...

LOL.  Took me a while to get that... I haven't seen the film in decades, but I remember that bit now: Nurse Ratched, right?
