I am a retired Luthier. Did anybody else see how perfect the decals were on the neck, and no rust on the tuners. Even a blind man would tell you this is a big FAKE.

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.

I’ve been a guitar enthusiast for 30 years. I’ve seen guitars in every conceivable condition of wear and disrepair. This is the most hilarious attempt I’ve ever seen of someone “restoring” a “dirty” instrument. Yes fellow commenters, it’s fake as hell.

@@28076130513B Its very easy to see that the guitar is newish and all the issues are hand made. Look at the strings, no rust whatsoever. The body besides covered in dirt is actually nearly pristine. The wires have no sign of aging or wear n tear, which they should show it. The pickups lack any sign of forgotten

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 🙂

That neck that's broken was planned on to the squier body to make it look broken and then the real squier neck to that white body comes out so you know its all staged. That neck that he refretted for no reason belongs to that body in the first place so it's all staged. Too bad because that squier neck looked really cool aged the way it was. Should have respray it white again put the original neck on without refretted and sanded down and put white plastics on it and it would have been perfect and vintage correct.
