Suntech SA-MRSC Super Stratocaster

The Suntech SA-MRSC Super Stratocaster was an electric guitar copied from the Fender Stratocaster, issued in the late 1970s.

The Suntec was Daryl Stuermer's main guitar which he played on several Genesis tours between 1978 to 1984. He received the guitar in April 1978 (of serial number #47820), and it was fitted with Bill Lawrence double-coil pickups so the guitar doesn't get a lot of hum with single-coil ones.

Apart from Genesis work, the Suntec appears on Hello, I Must Be Going (and possibly Face Value) and Frida's Something's Going On.

Daryl Stuermer had traded off the guitar to someone else on June 22, 1984 and sold on Ebay in 2014 to another owner.
