How is 'white' a rare colour? I know you don't see 'em every day, but I certainly wouldn't have called it a rare finish. Maybe it's just me.

Isn't everything "rare" on e-bay? Very Happy

I do like the guitar, sometimes simple is killer.

They aren't rare, but they also are not the most common color. I have one, BraveDave has one and is the high bidder on this one as well. There are some others here who also have one, I believe.

I've got one even more rare, how about a white standard 79 with WHITE binding! ???

Maybe I should say white with cream binding:

I have 4 white vintage dean guitars - all with black binding. I don't think the color is particularly rare, but there were far more black dean guitars than white or red. Dean Z has told me that he did a few pink, orange, yellow, etc. Those I would definitely call rare. I had to retract my bid on the ML on ebay, and so did Jeff, for some odd reason. I wonder how high it will go - and where is that '77 Z?

I think vintage and TC Bluebursts are pretty rare but Silverbursts are even more rare...

I think those are the two rarest finishes IMO....

I'll bet the reason the white guitars are so rare is because they cost more! According to my "Effective Feb. 1982" price list V, Z or ML Standards:

Cherry, Black, Brasiliaburst, Cherryburst, Walnut, Natural - $1048
White or Custom Color - $1148

Seems kind of crazy to me but it cost approx. 10% more to get one in white.
