You never see these. Very very few were built.

Not much use to anybody with a missing string.
Offer him $10.

I have an extra string. I'll sell it to someone for a mere $500...

Your string wouldn't match the original 1985 strings that are on it. We wouldn't want anything that wasn't original.

Obviously, not going unnoticed here. Side-bet on auction-ending bid?
I'd speculate $550.04.

Seems to have a lot of minor issues considering it was "never played".

Not stored well. Somewhere in Texas, got too hot, bubbled the case, dried out the fretboard, may have bellied the top a bit.
Still, a helluva deal, and perhaps worth a trip to The Wizards at Mother's.

Get a new case and some moisture into the fretboard. It'll be fine...

It IS, however, an original string. Just not for that particular guitar.
