I bought this almost as soon as I saw it, because the original ad copy didn't mention that it was refinished.
When I found out it was a refinish, I canceled the purchase.
Then I learned it isn't just a refinish, it's a recent Indonesian-built Mando-Strat that's been "relicked" with some old hardware and decals, upgraded with an Almuse pickup and refinished in Sonic Blue.
A cool project, and the new ad copy does admit it's refinished, but the seller could still be a little more up front about what it is. There's no such thing as a "1963 reissue" Mandocaster, since Mandocasters were built consistently from 1956 to 1976.
