Most expensive?

This was in the news last night & I quote channelnewsasia.com (online edition 18th Feb 2012):

The world's most expensive Fender guitar is now in Singapore, and it's available for sale at a manufacturer-suggested price of US$90,000, or about S$113,000.

In my opinion, they should qualify this statement; most expensive- production model? custom model? What?!

Because we know, after the 2004 Christie's auction, Claption's Fender Blackie Strat was sold for more than $950,000.

PS: No offence to Swee Lee, of course, it's good to know a guitar made the news here- we don't read that too often :-)

Apparantly on the day of the showcase of this guitar, i heard from the sales staff that it is so expensive because of the diamonds and jewels on the guitar though haha.....
