Ok....So it's a refinished mid-late 59 strat. I really don't care if fender refinished it or not. I had a very late 59/early 60 that was a similar deal. Super clean, no fret wear etc...but at some point whoever owned it decided they liked Lake Placid Blue. I paid $10k for that one a couple years ago so I'd say the BIN price is about $35k optimistic.

I'm confused as to what the extra hole is in the neck pickup route. I also think that the neck would have picked up more red from being in contact with that neck pocket for 50 years. Something like this:

It's way too clean for the case too. The bridge and frets look hardly touched.

In the description it says that the matching '59 Bassman was bought by Ed King. I know he is a member here. Maybe he can chime in.
