also notice how the pickups were all conveniently still usable, despite supposedly being left outside for god knows how long he wanted us to believe. my strat from 2014 is having a neck pickup that has low volume output, frets almost flat from constant bending and playing. I put that strat in my room and it doesn’t even get exposed to sunlights. i wonder if this guy can help me rewound my pickups.

Well...as an ex-Luthier I was enjoying this, that Epiphone turned out sweet! But then I read the disparaging comments....still, that Epiphone is sweet! That Strat - my first Strat (bought for $200) with in good shape, hardly any fret wear- but the PO had spray painted the body with car lacquer and hadn't let the previous coats cure enough before applying more - instant wrinkle-paint job! I finished in natural in the end and removed the stock 'hard tail' bridge and installed a Kahler Strat-style bridge. Came out pretty sweet too 🙂

If the whole gutar is a rusty mess, those strings would be rusted out like crazy. Also, the paint on the first guitar is WAY too thick, he smeared something like melted sugar all over the natural wood body and that is the crunchy flakey shell around the guitar that easily comes off with a scrape. On top of that, the wood under the paint is stained, they do not stain wood to then paint over it on any guitar, especially not on a $200 guitar.
