Very funny Jim. He's 'avin a larf isn't he ? Upgraded the body & put a Bigsby on it with no damage ! Put Kinmans in it ! And ..... then describes it as a '62 Reissue Strat ! The bits he left behind may be a Reissue Strat. How much does he want for them ? You're winding us up aren't you Jim ...... now come on, 'fess up to it ?

Tony.

I very much doubt if it's a '62 reissue strat, there is so much not right, particularly the neckplate which should have a Vxxxxx serial number.

Putting a Bigsby on a Strat is rather a strange idea !

Back in the days before the Vintage Reissue series, when a new Strat came with the CBS large headstock with the bullet truss-rod adjuster and the neck like half a sapling covered with toffee, Cliff Richard had a white pre-CBS Strat to which had been fitted a short Bigsby rather like the one on the eBay. There's a picture of him with it in Otto Kasper's book...

PS: The guitar on eBay clearly isn't a Vintage Reissue. The neck's all wrong for a start. The VR series have headstocks that are just like Strats had in the 1950s or 1960s as the case may be.

i can tell you this is a very honest seller on ebay one of the really good ones. he also plays guitar and is no mug. i have dealt with him sevral times so please think before you knock him. peter

The pictures in the Kaspar book don't show the headstock, and I have it in the back of my mind that this particular guitar was a Strat copy rather that a Fender, though I cannot find the photographic evidence at the moment. It's had some switching mods too if you look closely.

Cliff was photographed with a bog-standard White 70s Strat for the cover of Rock 'n' roll juvenile.

The frets are wrong as well,
IT'S HORRIBLE.
