Bill Carson's 1959 Stratocaster to be Auctioned
Bill Carson's Fiesta Red '59 Stratocaster will be on the block as part of Christie's October 13, 2006, Musical Instruments auction that takes place at their New York City office. The auction includes several interesting guitars, among which are two other Stratocasters: a 1963 Custom Color (originality of finish is not stated in the auction description as of this writing) and a 1962 Strat.
Some of you may recall that this guitar was previously sold by George Gruhn.
The full auction story is on the news desk.
