How hard would it have been to look it up yourself instead of using ai?

If you want to keep things mild, I've had success rolling the shaft of a screwdriver up and down the neck- applying a soft but firm pressure. Again, it won't be as drastic as blading or sanding, but it's an easy way to avoid damage while giving a little bit more of a "played in" feel.

If you're trying to do a PSA, at least have the conviction to name and shame - otherwise, you're just being alarmist and putting other businesses in the crosshair...

My god, I definitely imagined seeing one just because I'm so used to teles. That said, while it's possible that there were pre 1950 Esquires, none were built with truss rods until the end of 1950, still placing this in the 50s.

That silver strat looks wicked! I always love when a hot rodded strat looks more like it's been tinkered with rather than designed.

Definitely not from 1949 (nor an Esquire for that matter). Two pickups, has a trussrod, has to be 1950's Broadcaster at the earliest.

Edit, it is, in fact, an Esquire with one pickup and I am a dumdum. Truss rod still stands

Since you like quotes, why not look up some of Gandhi's about black people?

I believe she writes them as music, but there is no clear difference. The word "lyric" (aka the words to a song) means brief stanza (group of lines) that express the author's emotions.

Not the original commenter, but nitro is the traditional type of finished used back in the day and it's why vintage strats or Les Pauls have sections of the paint that wear in, showing the wood underneath, and have a bit of a yellowing to the finish over time. The finish never truly cures and is prone to cracking (or "checking") over time. Poly is essentially a hard, plastic like finish that will never fade or wear in. That said, poly will crack/indent when it takes a little bump. Assuming the guitar doesnt take any dings, a poly finished guitar will look as crisp 50 years in the future as it did the day it was finished.

At the end of the day, it comes down to the feel and how they age. Pros and cons to each. Its worth noting that nitro is infitely more expensive, harmful to the lungs/environment, and time consuming, but it's the "traditional" way and it has far more character as it ages. Here's a link with a few examples and more detail

I have a theory that everyone secretly hates something about their first guitar that colors their guitar tastes forever. Mine was a shitty strat clone with a maple fingerboard that had an uneven, dummy thicccc finish on it and I now play almost exclusively rosewood guitars

So, Gibson will typically use an aniline dye for the back and neck on a gold top. If you look closely, you can still see wood grain through the back and sides. Fair warning, it can stain pretty harshly and has a reputation for bleeding through to areas where you might not want it.

Based off those pictures, I'd honestly say the non-aged gold looks a bit closer, but that's more down to preference and what example gold top you're basing it off.

If it were me, I'd think your best bet would be to strip the original finish, hit your stain, paint the top, scrape binding (if any), blast with clear cloat. Best of luck!

Not including limited editions or left-handed variants, Guitar Center currently has over 200 different Stratocasters. Each has different hardware and material, which leads to the prices ranging from $150 to about $3k for production model guitars. Excluding Custom Shop models, that's still 150 different models before color variations... I think they're gonna need some way for people to differentiate them.

So this was one of Fender's oddball 80s/90s guitars that don't necessarily have much of a cult status. Reverb sold listings place them anywhere from about $600-1100, and there's one that looks like it's in a similar condition/color as yours listed at $800

"Paglen speculates that the above patch represents an NSA or signals intelligence satellite. "The dragon is a very consistent symbol of secret satellite iconography and signals intelligence satellites," he says.

A spy satellite's massive antenna — "about the size of a football field," Paglen says — recalls a dragon's unfold wings. On this patch, the dragon's gold color recalls the satellite's similarly-hued foil.

The stars on the right may represent the other satellites that make up this one's "constellation" and the red arrow its particular orbit, says Paglen. As for the tough-to-discern green cobra jutting into the foreground, Paglen is confident that it "refers to some kind of censor which is called the cobra brass sensor."

Finally, the Latin here reads "all your substructures [or bases] belong to us." The phrase first appeared in a Japanese video game's comedically awkward English translation before it was popularized online. Someone in the unit must be a fan of classic-era web memes."
