Waterproofing? It'll need it if it falls in that swimming pool. |

Some sort of joke, surely? Apart from the "scalping" there were "six shades of sandpaper" used (I imagine the sandy brown one worked out best) and the "arm is smooth and silky as a baby's butt" which must make operating the tremelo extremely difficult.
Awful sanding has taken the forearm and beergut contours way back further than they were, why is the headstock decal now missing and, as alluded, either the body is ash with an extremely thin alder on top (makes no sense) or there are 100 coats of acrylic on the front and back and practically none anywhere else. It smells of "Allparts" to me. |

| The headstock is the wrong shape for a Fender too. It should have a rounded inner corner on the underside, not a sharp one. |

Can i hear an angry mob gathering? 
Maybe we should gather by the edge of the village, light our torches, and thrust our pitchforks in to the air whilst storming up the path to his house on top of the hill, kick down his mock georgian cast iron fence bash down his front door and drag him form his bed kicking and screaming, then dump him in his pool along with his multi coated loser of a Strat.
Shall we say 7.30pm on the path by the church, Bass will supply the banners and catchy chants.. |

That Marshall auction is completely Kafka; surely a wind-up from start to finish. I mean, those Valvestates sell for peanuts week in, week out and all that name dropping can't have swung it. The description is endless bolleaux as well.

There's a couple of oxymorons and the moron who put in the offer managed to knock a whole $50 off the BIN. Well done, that chap  |
