I think that went for about $122 too much. . . I wonder what the 'modder's' original idea was?

Wonder if they watched "Chain Saw Massacre" before starting this project.
It did get a buyer that proves once again - for every seat, there is an a$$.

Whoh: Shoot the 38.00 shipping is ridicules and 13 bids oh my.
Maybe this would have been better suited in my "value" thread, I doubt if there is anyone that can justify the cost of this. M29, I never even gave thought to the shipping cost, I'm still digesting the selling price and trying to determine the "WHY?"

Wow...sometimes I don't know what people are thinking when they do stuff like that to a guitar. I could see getting a cheap guitar and hacking it up, but come on...doing that to a strat is utter blasphemy!! Leo is rolling over in his grave right now.

Some folks shouldn't be allowed sharp things . Actually I'm not sure which is the greater act of vandalism, the hatchet job on the body (no irony intended here) or the Alembic Strat-o-Boost that some misguided person installed. Aaarghh :
Electric: Fat strat > Korg PB > TS7 > DS1 > DD-20 > Cube 60 (Fender model)
Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience
The story behind this has to be interesting. Why? What? Where? Who?
The crack in the headstock is a serious problem and the mystery notch at the headstock? What the?
How can someone try to sell this and how can someone actually buy it?
An SX SST57 or 62 would be like a millions times better investment.
This whole deal is actually sickening. Somebody really didn't like the strat look.
This plan definitely went way wrong. Or the plan went just fine but the hacker was deranged. Yeah, that's got to be it. The modder is insane.

Not to be devil's advocate here, but if that guitar was bought second hand in a time like, well, the 80s, before CBS era Strats were considered vintage, this could have been a cheap, second hand guitar.
I'll agree, though, that the "modding" done on this thing is horrific. It should be burned to ashes.
Is that fiberglas, joint compound, or Bondo in the pickup cavities? I can't tell.:

I agree, back in the 80s, when you could still get 50s and 60s strats for < $3k, that would have been a $200 - $300 guitar. Nobody wanted CBS strats. Back in the 80s I had a '78 Strat that was the worst guitar I've ever owned, bar none. I couldn't give it away back then. It boggles my mind that that guitar is now worth several thousand dollars. :Originally Posted by Katastrophe

Wait a minute guys. Shouldn't this be considered as "vintaged" for real? Shouldn't this thing be worth $3-4,000? OK, I'm just kidding. Not even a cheap one deserves this.
