Apparently, in 1976 a guy named Richard Green wanted Duncan to repair his 1957 Strat. According to Seymour Duncan, there were two guitars with the #0001 serial number and David’s guitar is a “frankenstein” consisting of several different parts. There was some discussion about the #0001 Strat’s origins in 2004 on the Seymour Duncan forum that seemed to stir up some controversy. The alternate theory about the guitar’s origins Duncan later sold it to Phil in the mid 70’s for $900. Apparently, the guitar had originally belonged to Leo Fender who gave (or sold) it to Seymour Duncan. This must have been sometime around 1976-77.
