For a made in Mexico model with an FR1000, I think these are actually pretty expensive. The new Dave model is over $500 more than the previous MIM signature model, and there is nothing in the specs that would justify the increase the price.

The Kossoff strat had its Fender synchronized tremolo installed for its entire stint with Dave from 1978 or so when it was purchased until it was retired in 1988. The only noted exception to this is a few months in the early World Slavery Tour where it had a Rockinger system installed.

Why would the 2009 signature production strat have a Floyd Rose? It was meant to be a close replica of his Kossoff strat, which never had a Floyd Rose installed.

Here is the Kossoff strat with what looks to be some weird aftermarket bridge saddles in early 80's.

The Kossoff strat never had a Kahler, but it did have a Rockinger system installed for the first part of the World Slavery Tour. It was removed before the tour ended. The headstock still shows the holes drilled for the locking nut. I believe the book is wrong on this.

Here is the spread on Davey’s pre-CBS strats. At least we have confirmation the Kossoff strat has a 63’ body. Most of the text and quotes is lifted directly from previous interviews.

Adrian let Bruce play it while he had those spiked leather bands on his forearms? Instant relic job I guess!

Based on the excerpts they have released, we know for certain that they won’t be doing anything on his ESP guitars.

There was also at least this one from the early days.

Here are the pics:

A 57’ strat would have come from the factory with a single ply white pickguard - the mint green 3-ply version didn’t come along until 59’. I think there was some discussion about the Kossoff strat being a partscaster with a 60’s body and 50’s neck.

I would personally like to see it with a plain white pickguard and double cream humbuckers. I assume he is stuck using Seymour Duncan products though, which rules out the double creams due to Dimarzio's stupid copyright.

That is hideous looking. The Zebra pickups are too busy here and at a minimum their cream should match the white of the middle position JB Jr pickup. Thank god it was temporary!

TFPT = The Future Past Tour

And a pair of Lado Earth models as well. Where is this screenshot from?
