I have the newer version a tele/strat hybrid, if I recall correctly I belive the Strings and Things/Memphis St. Blues guitars from the 70's and 80's are in the $1,000+ range. The problem would be finding a buyer. That's one you would be wanting to hang on to as they didn't make a lot of them. When I was researching mine I found that the parts were made overseas but assembled in TN, the 70's models were made in USA and the 80's were "assembled" in the USA. Some early 80's guitars however could very well have been made in TN. Mine is a very well built and has great tone, Mary Kay finish with a tortise guard, tele headstock and control setup, strat body and strat type trem bridge. I've never seen one quite like it..maybe a Prototype. I got it from Iowa and it is a visually and tonealy smokin' guitar.
