Mine (walnut) cost $59,600 less. Bought in Bakersfield ca. 1995. OHSC.
I wonder if Noel's was serial-numbered (T-1 or T-101 or...?). Mine's T-11# (Roman-numeral fretboard; no Fender decal on front; no employee penciled initials/dates; pots replaced so no specific date clues.)
(And what does it mean that the palindrome of Noel is Leon?)

If someone was to pay that much for Noel's triple neck Fender Custom then wouldn't that make his '47 Bigsby triple neck worth asking 10 times more than the Fender? And before you laugh at or flame me for that comment consider that a Fender Custom brings about $1200 and a original Bigsby now brings $12,000-and that is the lowest figure paid for a Bigsby in the last half dozen sales of them that I am aware have transpired in the last year or so-Add another zero to the end-If nobody is buying Bud's Bigsby for that same asking price or Joaquin's for $75,000 who would shell out that much for the Fender? Not even when I win the lotto

It's a shame that 1950's steels are so affordable in general.
A friend of mine has a Fender Nocaster/Tele that once belonged to Jimmie,then Stevie Ray Vaugn. I'll have it on display at the Oct.6th LA AMP SHOW, and then it will be on display at the Arlington Vintage show the end of Oct. in Norman Harris's booth. It is for sale at that show. How much do you think that will bring?
Bear in mind that the inflated vintage market has fallen off it's rediculous high of last year because off the general state of the economy. I'm banking on it fetching offers upwards of $800,000. Here's a pic.

Collectors only
I am fairly sure that it won't be a musician who buys it

Drew, whatever your point was there, I doubt you've ever even drivin thru, let alone know how VERY cool that whole SE area of LA was in the 50/60/70s.
The only way those day's could have been better, would be if living a dbl. life was possible, in order to be there AND in Hawaii after the war, where I've been since '75.
How's MI?

This same instrument is in an eBay auction.
Starting bid is set at $10,000 with a reserve. Big surprise: there are no bids yet

While we're on the subject of FENDER, Elva West (TRADEWIND GUITARS) out there in Anaheim is making some mighty impressive "copies" of the old Fender...take a look here: www.tradewindsteelguitars.com (Click "Products")
