Also, my favourite line from the ad:

"Collection only due to postage not always being reliable and transport may effect/damage the Guitar Chandlers Ford cash on collection."

Can it get any more damaged?

He's perfectly replicated the wear pattern you would get if you used a Strat to wipe your arse every day.

Modulus_Amps

looks like he tried to sand off the finish without removing the hardware

If you've got an anus like a Brillo Pad maybe.

when I saw the first pic I thought it was a watercolour painting of a strat.

Dreadful, but I'm wondering which nut job paid nearly £3k for this dreadful thing....

it's been scrubbed as if trying to exorcise some evil spirit. that's not wear, that's mania.

About 10 miles down the road from me so that would avoid the damaged in transit risk....

One previous sandpaper shirted owner. So sharp, he fell down and cut himself.

They do seem to claim to have some legitimate artists however! http://www.thepaintedplayer.co.uk/friends-of-tpp ;

Including our friend from the wig thread.

Maybe it belonged to the sandman.

One would only have to replace the "m" with an "h".....

Being famous doesn’t confer someone with additional intelligence. Most likely the opposite...

Wig thread?

Dont judge too harshly. After all this dude has perfectly replicated the exact ageing that a strat would have if you randomly attacked it with an electric sander then scrubbed it with 120 grit sand paper for five minutes before realising that you've ruined your guitar and will have to put it on ebay as you cant bear to keep it and be reminded of how daft you've been.
He totally NAILED that look.
