Yeah I saw that but I bet it's not so pearly white in person, looks like a washed out digital picture to me (something like i would do by accident)

The best of both worlds: "vintage white" and "modern white":

Personally, I like the slight yellowing on my 1975 4001S WHT, kinda classy to me.

I agree Gary. The vintage white is appealing.

That one is a 1998 (N1 date code, February 1998). If you look carefully, you'll see that it still has the "Made In USA" sticker on the pickguard. It is very sweet!

I saw that Gary, that's one of the reasons I asked, when did they discontinue white?

According to the Finish Time Line at Mike Parks' web site, 1999 was the last year for White. The guy I bought it from locally hardly played it.

I bought it from a private seller in 2002. I don't remember whether he told me where he bought it from, but we are in southern Callifornia, if that helps.
