ef_in_fla Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'm not sure what's worse...the hack job someone did to this strat or the fact that this guy listed it for sale using words like vintage and rare. Couldn't he have just put it out of it's misery? http://cgi.ebay.com/1974-VINTAGE-FENDER-STRATOCASTER-STRAT-RARE-USA-LOOK_W0QQitemZ370122621733 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLesPaul2006 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 there is 7 bids on it right now. What the hell? it looks like it lost a fight with a table saw. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookelputz Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 No, the bids will be from his beer drinking buddies who helped with the project - trying to generate some interest. You know, in a world full of spin, in a nation of tall tale tellers, Ebay just may prove to be a natural arena for Liar of the Week competitions. There's just as much fiction as any sitcom on TV, with pathos, humor, and tragedy, for all - and often in High Melodrama, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 am I the only one who noticed how many pics he has of that? I think two would have done it! my god.. he spent more on the ebay add pics than the thing is worth. 'find it only here'. he calls himself. oh the irony! whatever he gets for this.. I'll sell you a picture of my dr. giving me a prostate exam for the same price. and it will sound better! TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWANG I'll match that current bid of $18.27 for the picture of your doctor giving you a prostate exam if I can post the picture here on the Epi forum.

Kennyh Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've never been a Strat fan, so I'm tempted to say it looks better like that ;-) Seriously, this isn't a modded guitar, it's vandalism. Anyone who buys it has more money than sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Looks like a vase with one really ugly flower growing out of it. (upchuck) Probably just needs a good set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyushPresley Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 This guy (who ever cut that guitar) must hate Fender a lot.. lol.. i wouldn't buy that man... ya for 20$ i surely would not more than that though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layboomo Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Wood like that is sold by the cord for fires! OUCH! Perhaps it was inspired by John Mayall's mangled strat.... he has one that's reduced to basically a neck with pickups. Drugs and power tools should not be used together! :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSAKing Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ohhh - but on the bright side, it is structurally sound because the neck and body are firmly glued together... (oh wait... what about adjustments for a once bolt on neck...?) oh well - details..... And it is vintage after all..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpdeluxe Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Just proves my point, posted elsewhere: eBay definitions: Vintage = second hand *Vintage* = second hand and abused **Vintage** = second hand and butchered Rare = unpopular *Rare* = modified **Rare** = clumsy counterfeit Anybody who buys a guitar on eBay described as "vintage" or "rare" is asking for trouble.
