Stratocaster Rhinestone [Item #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.
