Oh dear.






(I mean, who puts a HB in the bridge position of a Tele?)

Love the grain, but the pyrography....ouch.

The stripped look is fine but why did he carve it like that - not a wise move if you plan to sell it

I can't believe it.  :-O I have just joined a black metal band called Something Country and was look for a new guitar - this could be just perfect.  Made my day that has.

Ha! Although John 5 and I would like a word.

This is the only time I can be mentioned in the same breath as John 5.

Lixarto

I beg to differ: you don't wear stupid make-up like John 5 (I assume)

ToneControl

polyfilla & repaint or sand off the engraving

Stupid? Oh. That explains what went wrong with that job interview.

Hmm... a four-piece body and all stripey grain on one half and plainer grain on the other half - doesn't float my boat tbh.

Not an off the shelf one I think.
Pretty certain that the modern player is a non standard affair. 22fret, no overhang iirc.

A nice large arm cut. Would suit Popye.

ICBM

A replacement body, bridge, pickup and pickguard would sort that out in no time .

What I love is reading the ad - he says - I paid £364 and will only charge you £250 because I can't figure out the action on it.

Not because I stripped the crap out of it and engraved possibly the stupidest thing ever on the top.

I have to admit that I am surprised that the wood under a Fender Modern player looks that good.

marktheharp

is pretty hilarious and apologies if anyone knows this guy! but I couldn't believe what he has done,the write up and the price ! have feeling he will be waiting a long time to sell this:-)

Isn't the modern player supposed to be a Pine body?
If so, it should burn quite well....
