Perhaps if he'd had another few weeks he'd have got the headstock shape right.

    £190??? Wtf?
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    But you can try it through his amp.

    Not with strings, mind.

    "weeks of work to relic it".

    I would query the words "work" and "relic".

    Looks like five minutes with a power tool.

    Nah disagree! Definitely weeks of work - phenomenal attention to detail: Changed every screw in the scratch plate so non match, placed toxic mould spores around the pickups, took the decal off the headstock battered the thing to death and put the decals back on, . . .

    What happened to the headstock
    It had a Fender decal applied to it, making the guitar a fake.

    If it was weeks of work with an angle grinder, then I suspect he was holding the wrong end.
