^^ The scariest thing about that Shitstang is what possible purpose were the all the other holes drilled into the body for?

Next someone should do one with the whole pickguard a hole through the guitar (might need to be steel/aluminum bodied).

Now that they ruined the headstock the neck will be perfect for that Long Scale Swinger replica that nobody in the world has ever made.

I think it has about £3k worth of parts as is.

The "Shitstang" on the previous page, as horrific as it is in its current form, is definitely fixable, right? Some basic woodworking (hole-plugging, mostly) and a refinish that matches the condition/age/appearance of the neck and hardware in a period-accurate color, and someone's got a nice, "rescued" Mustang. That's the kind of thing you'd hold your nose and buy for as cheap as possible, and then enjoy returning it to its former glory!
