It's shown on the Fender Web page under the Diamond anniversary logo (which is weird since I thought Diamond anniversary was either the 75th or 100th anniversary)
It only comes in sunbrst and rosewood fretboard. Hope this matches everything you saw on the auction.
Musicians Friend has the cheaper version for around $500. It's some shade of silver with a maple fretboard and probably made in Korea or Mexico.
List price on the Fender site for the American 60th was $1571. So if you can get it for $850, I would think it's a pretty good deal. I wouldn't go any higher than that, myself.
I have NOT seen any 60th Anniv. models at Sam Ash, Guitar Center or the other three main independents that still carry top line Fender stuff in the Cincinnati area. But that was as late as two weeks ago.
I'm over due for a "just looking" visit. How long before the auction is over? I may be able to make a run to at least two of the stores & see if there is one in stock and give you a brief review if it's there.
Also, I have a 40th anniversary model. One of the local luthiers (not just a guitar tech) said it would appreciate in value ONLY if I kept the playing to a minimum and held on to it for another 20 years. Otherwise, I would probably just get my investment back from it if I sold it. Hey! I bought it to be PLAYED!! Not just looked at
And he said collectors that want the "commemorative" stuff would probably want just the 25th, 50th & 75th anniversary models. So they're a bit weird!
If you are really itching for a Strat, at that price, it's a good deal. But if it somehow slips away to a higher bidder, there are some other really nice Strats out there. New & Used.
Let me know on the time frame and I can make a run tonight or tomorrow and look.
