The neck could have been a 1954 but Seymour remembers that it had a ’57 neck with cigarette burns just above the nut, which David’s indeed has. Seymour also insists that he actually didn’t sell it to Taylor but to Alan Rogan (Pete Towsend’s long time guitar tech), who then sold it to Phil. So to sum it up, according to Seymour Duncan, David’s #0001 Stratocaster has a 1957 light mint green ash body and a 1957 neck, from to two separate guitars, and the pickups are custom ‘60s Duncans. Later, Seymour got the original body at Charvel’s, slapped on a randomġ957 neck that he’d bought from Phil Kubicki, wounded new 1960’s replica The guitar had a #0001 serial number on the neckplate. The neck went to repairman Phil Kubicki, who refinished it and Duncan fitted the neck to the “new” body and returned it to Richard Green.

Duncan shipped the body to Charvel but it was too worn and full of scratches and it was replaced by a random, similar body and sprayed see-through root beer. 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.
