Heavily distressed is an understatement, it looks like he went at it with an angle grinder  )

wouldn't be the first.  its a fine way to rough in a carve on a guitar.  too risky for me though

@WezV - Thanks for the vids. I think I saw a Crimson guitars video before we he used an angle grinder to groove out and shape parts of a strat style body and it looked great. I think the owner of that Tele went for a more hack and slash approach

I think that was referring to the luthier.

I can just imagine some tw*t standing over that pristine guitar body, holding a picture of a genuine 60s relic and thinking "this is gonna look so cool"

Reminds me of that classic restoration job:

Considering it was a Fotoflame it's actually an improvement.

But not as much as burning it would have been.

I'd say "kill it with fire," but it seems someone already tried.

Just imagine, once upon a time there was a tree that dreamed of being a lovely electric guitar. Unfortunately it became a Telecaster. Luckily someone removed all the bits from it, then kick the shiv out of it, so it wouldn't be so boring anymore.

Everyone likes a happy ending.

Yeah - I was never a fan of Fotoflames either. Took the words right out of my er... fingers.
