Feast your eyes. (Or alternatively, read 'em and weep.)

Wow, that's jaw dropping :P

What narks me is the bright white volume and tone controls. Those need to be aged plastic, I'm just not buying it :P

And the wear mark above the position on the middle pick up as well? I have a few small marks around the jack socket of my SG, after trying to find it several times in the dark over the last sixteen years. But I can't imagine wear like that around a jack socket, unless I got absolutely slaughtered every single time I played guitar???

Fuck me, its been raped by Black & Decker!

Described as "beautiful". Major self-delusion there.

Bucket · August 2015

What I like to refer to as a "bottom of the canal special"...

chrisj1602 · August 2015

What a wanker.

Sassafras · August 2015

Don't suppose he's ever seen a properly old, banged up guitar.

octatonic · August 2015

Good grief.

GuitarWorkz · August 2015

You really have to wonder what goes through some peoples heads, and seriously, he wants to swap a destroyed and raped copy Fender for a real Gibson 335, is this person touched or something? How are they allowed out without a carer or supervision, yet alone near a computer.

Hahaha! How would you get that amount of wear around the input jack unless you were furiously stabbing the guitar body with your guitar cable.

Moss · August 2015

LOL @ the Fender logo

Looks like a stay puft marshmallow man turd

octatonic · August 2015

As is sometimes my want, I've emailed him this thread.

Hopefully he can join and we can discuss his reasoning for doing what he did in a calm and thoughtful manner.

I don't think a guitar jack plug could ever do that much damage.

Furiously stabbing it in a frenzied attack with a chisel might do it.

Yes, but how do you explain the gouging directly above the neck pickup?

Using the guitar as a shield against an exploding I.E.D.? Maybe the guitar is a war vet just back from Helmand or something. If I was interested in it I'd want to check the serial number just in case it had been awarded a Victoria Cross for suffering such horrific injuries while saving the life of a squadie or something.

I'm not a fan of relics but if this one didn't have fender knobs on it I would actually be interested in it.

You could always change the knobs.

Howdy, Stranger!
