I don't think I could notice $5k worth of difference between a guitar like that and a run of the mill MIM Strat. A teenage newbie player certainly would not. What a waste. I went to a prep school with a lot of rich kids and a lot of them played guitar. Only one I recall with an expensive guitar was a goldtop LP, which would be worth a lot today, but was nothing too fancy in 1985, when LPs weren't fashionable. Nice guitar though. He just didn't know how to play it very well.
