Could have just saw the tan lines on it from age, and meticulously removed. Maybe drugs? Also, People forget that there was mega boredom before the internet. Likely could have been reactive. Either way, it’s funny, a good story, and the guitar still is great IMO

Yeah that must've been one hell of a job to remove it so meticulously... maybe paint stripper I guess, look at the "drop" there on the left. A pity but yeah, she still looks so nice! :-*

Cause the wood’s gotta breathe man! That’s where the tone comes from!
Remember to remove the wood in the vibrato cavity on a Strat for it to properly breathe!

Oh man, don’t even get me started on Strat springs!
Better swap those bad boys out if you don’t want to sound like an absolute loser.

Callaham springs make you sound like Gilmour, Raw vintage springs make you sound like Hendrix, FU-tone gets you all the way to SRV land baby! and the stock springs make you sound like shit.

The secret is in the springs man!
