I didn't know know they were considered 60th anniversary, but I remember when MF was selling those. Didn't know they had the little '60th Anniversary" thing on the back. I actually saw a blem one in the clearance bin on MF a couple days ago.

Well, it's certainly a legit FSR model. Fairly stripped down (did you notice there's only one tone control, not two?), Mexican made, and sells new for $400. Check out the listing at MF:

I think pretty much all the 2006 models got that 60th Anniversary sticker, so it doesn't make it a collectors item. But according to the MF customer reviews, people who bought 'em really like 'em. I wouldn't go higher than $275 or so, though, especially since the guy has altered it and it looks like he's gouging on that shipping price. But if you can arrange to pick it up, that would save you that chunk of change, at least.
