Thanks for all the info. After a little research and looking at pictures, it does seem like a Highway 1. It has the smaller headstock that I guess they had the first 2 years. The thin skin finish adds up too. Perhaps the tuners were just changed out at some point.

So I work at a Pawn Shop and we just got an American Strat in. (Serial number clearly marked and passed the Police hold and everything) According to the serial number it's a 2003 (Z3 + 5 or 6 digits). Its kind of a transparent creamy color with tortise shell pickguard and cream pickup covers and ...

Cool, cheers guys! I'll probably just stay away from it.

Thanks for the advice. I'm mostly interested in the amp, though I really like those old guitars as well. It wouldn't be to flip. I'd like to see what I could do with them. Just wondering if the time, gas and $100 is a good "price" for the package.

By the way, I probably posted this in the wrong ...

I'm debating...thoughts?

ha...yep that's him! His name is Chris. I think he is listed on the wiki bio.

Just picked it up. First impressions are great. I'll give it a week or two to decide if I wanna flip it or not. Pictures to come.

Turns out the guy was the guitarist/vocalist of Johnny Socko. Not sure if that means a lot outside my neck of the woods but they were somewhat of a big deal. "Socko" is ...

Looks like he works 10 minutes from my house. Should be picking it up tomorrow.

yea, if he's willing to let that go for $250 then it's a good deal. I'd put some different pickups in there, but that's just my 2 cents.

Yes, ASAP! May let the hot rail slide for a bit until I can't stand it anymore. But the neck pickup has to be changed right away.

I'm really confused how ...

I'm all over it...as soon as he tells me where and when I can pick it up. When it comes to Craigslist I don't get too excited until its in my car on the way home.

Good deal?

Amazing! I thought about that color the whole time I had it but never had the guts.

Makes me a bit sad to watch but I must admit you've already gotten better sounds out of it than I ever did. Glad you're enjoying it!

Ahh, well that's lame.

Not sure if anyone cares or if he'll ship...found this on my local Craigslist and seems pretty cheap:

It seems the guy flaked out...what a letdown. Back to square one on my hollowbody lust.

god knows. all i know is it's lovely.

but get some p90s in thar! i've always wanted a riviera with p90s.

It's the worst. First and last time that's ever happened.

P90s are a definite possibility.

Yah, I have no idea but I thought the Supernova came in that color but who knows and who cares if it plays and sounds good....cause it sure looks great.

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked. A few years back I picked up an Epiphone Casino in the same color from GC. I quickly had buyer's remorse and took it ...

I'm not sure...I just know it's some sort of Riviera. Can't find a lot of info about it. I think it was some limited edition from around 10 years ago.

It's been a long time on humbuckers for me so I'm not completely sold on that...but I think it'll work nicely for what I want it for.
