i thought he was mental..... then i seen who it was and i was like "oh, it's him"

he's always posting pictures of his guitar collection with his muscle cars/super cars on social media. i think some of the offset groups on facebook actually banned him for self promotion
...Oh - that's the guy that posts pictures of guitars next to his swimming pool to brag about his many riches. I let him know that he was selling a new body as vintage/original/60's, and he didn't take the clear evidence well, and bragged about knowing Jim Shine.

This one isn't awful, bit counterintuitive if you ask me though:

Doesn't look awful but still required drilling those snap buttons in place :whistle: :fp:

"Finally, this has a snap-on back protector. I’m pretty sure that Fender offered that as a factory option..."

this can't possibly be true, can it? :wtf:
Maybe we’re looking at this the wrong way - I’d bet that the Naugahyde back means there is little to no wear on the belt buckle from the guitar.

That's hilarious. I can't imagine that the initial break would have taken more than a couple of minutes to re-glue but 'cleaning it up' to a nice sharp 90 degree angle? At this point it's just some wood to keep you warm ;D
