The Michael Perry Stratocaster Collection Is on the Market

Strat collector Michael Perry has decided to sell his collection. It includes some very significant pieces with respect to Fender history, such as the first two 1979 25th Silver Anniversary Stratocasters (prototype #000000 and first production model #000001), and the first official Fender Custom Shop guitar, the double-neck with serial number 0001 and the first Custom Shop guitar sold to the public, the Mary Kaye with serial number 0050.

The Custom Shop Harley-Davidson Strat bears serial number 002. Number 001 belongs to Fender CEO Bill Schultz.

The Floyd Rose Stratocaster is the first production model with serial number FN200001.

All eleven Strats can be seen on the collection website.

I have been retained by Mr. Perry to represent him with respect to the sale of the collection. Please address inquiries to either tomwatson@stratcollector.com or collection@stratovarious.com.
