Number 1 has always been a bit of a mystery. I have seen where Rene said that it was a '59 neck and body but the pick ups where dated later, around '61 or so.
I don't think we'll ever really know until Fender releases their detailed analysis of Number 1.
Can you imagine how much it would go for today at a formal auction like Clapton did a few years back? I'd say 1.5 million as a good figure for it.
I have a set of Texas Specials I am going to drop into my strat someday...I've had them for 4 years and haven't replaced my stock pick ups yet. I may do that soon though.
