That one is an actual fender- neck and all. He just likes defiling them with a belt sander apparently.
Ick.
Nah. The trussrod access hole looks totally wrong for a Fender, more akin to a cheapo Yamaha Superstrat, AFAIK Fender never made a fretboard where the markers were like that, and the end of the fretboard being angular and square is also definitely non-Fender, definitely more cheap hard rock.
It might have been a Yamaha EG-112. No huge loss, but what he turned it into was much worse than what it started out as.

In similar vein to the above pic:

I remember seeing a picture of a pre-war Martin archtop with an almost identical '70s van paintjob. It used to be all over the internet but annoyingly I now can't find it.
Edit: Found it! Bask in the grainy majesty of vintage digital camera technology.
Speaking of crappily modified guitars that did the rounds in the 2000s, whatever happened to that Les Paul with the extra cutaway? You know the one.

The truss rod access gouge really makes it.

It's a shame it had to happen this way but this might have just given me a moment of realisation. The Jaguar's top horn does sort of follow the shape of the Jaguar car logo. Was Leo inspired, somehow?
That is definitely the case. Also with others like the Mustang, Cyclone, Toronado and Bronco. Except for the Bronco, all of them had some racing / car themes going on at some point.
fender bronco's were moddeled on the ford bronco i got told once, hence the simplicity and colour

In a way this is one of the worst ones in the thread. You'd think apart from whatever it is he's done to the body it'd be pretty OK, but actually there seems to be nothing left that's both original or salvageable or either. The neck with an added string tree, larger frets and Schallers mounted on a mahogany strip is the best candidate for any kind of restoration. That's a very insidious way to ruin a vintage Fender.
EDIT: Also looking at the bridge saddles this was probably never intonated post-mods.
