Is this guitar a legit early 80s strat-head?

Here's a link... for $1200 doesn't that seem kinda low? I know it's a "plain" graphic but I thought these went for upwards of $3k if all original. This one looks original...

Kit guitar IIRC, was originally black...

[Mr.Shreddy]

No.

He's had that on ebay for a while. He admits its a full refin. The price has been going down pretty steadily.

Is it me or does the bridge (or pickup) look crooked?

[Rich#6]

All the bids were canceled on the last ebay listing as sold locally. Wonder if we will see it again.

Bridge looks crooked to me, too.

I could be totally wrong, but I don't see $1200.

wheres yore fuck'n christmas spirit???? I love candy canes!!!!

[Ayrton]

Yeah, but who knows what lies beneath the repaint wrapper.

The guitar was black before the re-fin. I also seem to remember that while it is rear routed for electronics, at some point years ago, someone had added a decorative pickguard to the front, leaving 8 pickguard screw holes.

I like the paint

[superstratslinger]

Guess it never hurts to ask first... I like the paint too as this is pretty much my favorite guitar ever:

He put $1200 in the thread title but not in the description.
