You either have some upscale neighborhood kids, or their parents are helping them step up to some very nice instruments!!
That is indeed a surprise...may never happen again!
My earlier band partners and I once did something like that - in this photo there are three black Gretsch instruments. Mine is my old 2202 solid body, so it was lowest on the $$ pecking order but it sounded great.
We all decided to bring these instruments to this particular gig on our own.
