Serial knows this story.......

Back in about 1990 I was going to NIU in DeKalb Illinois. Larry Henrickson at Ax in Hand had a 4 digit Standard with Bartolini pickups in it that I could have picked up for about $1000 (asking price was $1200). IT WAS SERIAL NUMBER 0050!!!

Being a poor college kid I thought that was a lot of money for a used guitar so I passed.

That one has haunted me ever since. I've tried several times to locate it but never had any luck. Anyone with any information on it please let me know

I wonder if I could put its photo on a milk carton with a reward????

Be careful...the last time I tried the milk carton trick, I was deluged by a bunch of offended HFCers and one of them wound up running away to Canada.

A dealer up the road from me had a new Eclipse in that green color that he was letting go cheap years ago.

I join you all in a collective kick of the arse.

"P.S. Darc, I can tell you from first hand experience, the Zaza went for more than $1200"

No kidding? Did you come up against other bidders on that one? I could have sworn he posted that price flat out. But that was a long time ago. Anyway, I'll assume it cost you $6K just to set my mind at ease LOL.

I miss my metalic purple cali 044 of a run of 50. Reverse headstock and boomers a great sounding and playing guitar. of course the is the shocking pink Blitz with a floyd for 4 bill at a Sam Ash that was there for months but was gone when I finally decided it should come home with me and then there was a Japanese battle flag graphic special that went for 250ish when I was without cash at the time. and the onethat pains me the most a mint blue Blitz bass for 150 bucks that was gone in the time it took me to go and get cash from the bank.
