Notes
"Gibson made one other Superstrat that deserves mention, though we'll discuss it more at length another time. That's the famous WRC, a.k.a. the SR-71, produced in '87. This was a rather conventional Superstrat designed for Gibson by Wayne Charvel, namesake of Charvel guitars.
This was a bolt-neck guitar with h/s/s and Floyd Rose. Initially this was called the WRC, but IMC, which owned the Charvel brand name, strenuously objected. Gibson promptly changed the name to SR-71 and published a letter from president Henry Juskewiscz pointing out that Wayne Charvel had no relationship with the Jackson/Charvel company.
These were limited-edition guitars, in any case, and supposedly only 200 were made. These came with a letter of authenticity and were supposed to be signed by Wayne. These are not Gibson's most memorable moments, but they are rare and curious because of their litigious history, and they're pretty inexpensive."
