    PC - Clapton Strat - what are the odds of this????

    So I have this very cool Claptoon strat I got through my friend Pete..

    First off, its not a typical color, a more uncommon 7up green, and has an unusual pearloid pickguard.
    Pittsburg band Billy the Kid and the Regulators come and play the place I work with, and what does the other guitar player have???

    I waited to break mine out, until he got done telling me how rare these were, and that I wouldn't see too many of them out and about.
    after he saw this one, he said he was going to buy a lottery ticket!!

    I thought this was pretty cool!

    Cool guitar, quite the coincidence. I love that colour.

    Somewhat get out a calculator and figure out the odds.

    Cool guitar! I remember thinking that color was pretty cool when they came out. I Bought a new Strat Plus in '88 and that model (and the Jeff Beck model) were in the catalog. I still have that catalog.

    That IS cool. My buddy also has one in 7-Up Green & a pearloid 'guard. They are uncommon. Notice the "fat" headstock on the one on the right? I'd bet it is early-mid '90s

    I think one of the sax players in my band knows them and played with them once or twice over the past year when he's been back home in da Burgh.
