£50 for a plastic thumbrest? I know vintage parts are expensive but!

so where's the proof that is a genuine 1978 thumb rest??? is there some magic number on the pressing like there are on those old PAF pickups?

what provenance is he providing?

At that rate I'm currently worth £14,000,000 in old Fender parts
