Yeah, I forgot the sunburst one, too. They've done a few 'special' runs including a very limited 'Player Special' IIRC (?) that was either sunburst or black, was all 52Ri except it had the flatter radius neck and big frets, and - stretching memory - also had a 4-way or some special switching? Might have been Nocaster pickups, too.

So there's been a few versions. I like the circa 2000-2001 FSR myself with the black paint/gold hardware - there's a pic running on another thread somewhere. Very cool. If you were looking for a semi-collectable, one of these in the case with candy and COA would be cool.

I have a full set of the gold hardware on my partscaster, which included all the gold-plated slotted screws incl. the intonation adjusters and pickup mounts, plus a gold-plated neck cover!
