Someone described a Guild S-200 as "an SG that had been left in the sun and melted."

This is what happens when you give a novice woodsmith a router and a whole lot of bad LSD. :fp:

Gourd, looking at that thing for too long is painful, and I'm not even a huge Strat fan anyway.

Hi, my name is oid and I like Antigua finishes.

antiqua finishes are a mistake even when done the right way

it is not Antigua without the matching pickguard!

I have no issues with the body, it's not terribly done, pick guard needs a touch up. That head stock looks like ass and I doubt I could live with it.

Someone wants 8000 € for this butchered 1962 JM, with a dead neck pickup. (Apparently belonged to a famous dutch band, but all pictures show a regular sunburst one, so they're probably not responsible for the mess ;D )

Meh, it's certainly saveable, unlike some of the other crap in this thread. Fill in the routing, replace the pickguard, refinish it in a solid colour and you're good to go. Not for 8000 euros though. :wacko:

8000€ = 16 Squier J Mascis Jazzmasters. Or 6 "Traditional 60s" Jazzmasters. Or one very good vintage Jazzmaster. But not this.

I should never have done this calculation. Now all the time I'm thinking about where I could put up sixteen J Mascis-Jazzmasters... :w00t: :whistle: ::)
