Walnut Strat body??

I briefly held a partsocaster yesterday, with a 2-peice walnut body, and a nice maple neck. This exact one here, click "NEXT" to look at close-ups.
BOOTLEG CUSTOM electric Walnut guitar - ss1
The guy that owns the shop is supposed to be a very good luthier, and he assembled this guitar with some pretty cool components. Its a used strat, and I'm assuming that its been there for a while. Believe it or not this guitar was incredibly solid and high-end feeling. The shop is on the way to my daughters pre-school, so over the next year if its still there and if I have the dough at that time, I might make an offer on it. It would be my "nice" beater, the guitar that I would practice on every day, sweat and bleed on it (figuratively speaking), and not worry about it. It really seemed like a nice player. I've just never seen a walnut strat before. Anyone played one before? Oh yeah, they also had to Fender SF Musicmaster Bass Combos in pretty good shape for under $300. Heard good things about those old amps, especially with speaker and tube upgrades. Cool stuff.

Verrrrrry nice.

Here's a real one. From what I've heard, they couldn't give these away in the 80s.
