A vintage Fender guitar with a clear advantage

A one-of-a-kind Fender guitar is up for sale – a prototype from 1972 that’s made from plastic.

The guitar was once owned by Beach Boy Carl Wilson

Built by Fender luthier Roger Rossmeisl, the guitar features a contoured Perspex body, black anodized hardware and a Starcaster-style neck.

It was used by Carl Wilson when he was recording the Beach Boys’ 1973 album Holland and he retained ownership of the guitar for many years.

This wasn’t the first plastic guitar made by Fender – a clear Stratocaster was produced for publicity purposes in the 1950s.

The guitar is being sold on eBay by the Los Angeles Guitar shop. The ‘buy it now’ prices is $29,999.99.
