I'm pretty sure that termite guitar joke is a copy. No thanks.

As for the steampunk Jag - at least in this case, it looks like the different things seem like they are meant to do stuff. Probably bad stuff, but stuff nonetheless. Might be a bad idea to have flip-up spikes in the strum zone.
Yeah- I think you could hook up an old dot-matrix printer to that output port there- maybe it would print off tablature of your playing? compose lyrics inspired by whatever honking garbage plopped out of the audio circuits?

i do think so. i also was looking into his other listings.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1973-FENDER- ... Sw8f9bz6mJ

honestly. looking at his listings, i dont want to say he's dellusional but he is asking top money for a lot of things. like £1750 for a coronado xii neck.

edit number 3.

Why you'd do this to an essentially brand new top of the line Fender is beyond me, and then have the balls to charge OVER the original new price.

When I see a really worn-looking guitar, I like to imagine how it was played to receive the wear pattern. This one was played by someone who would strum with a running dremel tool (with the ball-end burr) while never ever fretting any notes. Also they had a great big belt buckle shaped like Ohio, and lots of bedazzler studs all over their shirt and pants to make chips.

Why would the guard be gouged? What are they even thinking? Never mind the other dumb stuff, but... never mind. I shouldn’t even look at relicked guitars.

I know right? Like at least make the wear marks believable rather than ''I dropped the guitar down some stairs once''.

The only time I've ever seen a guitar actually get that damaged in real life was when a friend of mine's toddler brother got a hold of his guitar and a screwdriver at the same time :fp:
