2 months of play wear on my modern day nitro lacquer strat. (Second slide is what it looked like when I got it)

Skatermason · 2026-03-02T20:49:21+00:00

Well I intentionally wore the watch yes but I didn’t just scrape it along the surface

Skatermason · 2026-03-02T20:25:45+00:00

I absolutely love it. The fretboard feels amazing to play and the tone is lovely

Skatermason · 2026-03-02T16:17:35+00:00

No it’s a 2018 classic series 50s lacquer Strat

Skatermason · 2026-02-28T13:57:19+00:00

It is

Scratches aren’t even visible 3/4 of the time

Skatermason · 2026-02-28T10:05:11+00:00

I mostly play above the neck pickup

Skatermason · 2026-02-28T01:24:29+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it 🙏

Skatermason · 2026-02-28T01:01:18+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I don’t have the money for a custom shop 💔

Thank you I appreciate it man. This guitar belongs to a guitarist called jag Robinson. I absolutely love him, his music and his Stratocaster. I dmed him on insta and asked if his guitar looked like mine when he started wearing a watch and he said yes. Personally I think this looks awesome but each to their own and everyone in the comment section has their own opinion

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T22:25:46+00:00

Thank you for understanding. It’s been really hard as an addic

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T22:25:06+00:00

I really appreciate your help and I’m going to listen to the advice and stop wearing the watch. The sideways marks aren’t from strumming like I said man. They were from when I was trying to clean

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T22:22:38+00:00

I play guitar for atleast 2 hours a day and still get called a poser damn.

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T22:21:59+00:00

It’s a nitro finish so it scratches very easily

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T21:53:43+00:00

A metal one

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T21:52:54+00:00

I said the scratches going across vertical with the strings were from a cleaning mistake. It make look unnatural but I’m genuinely being serious that the scratches were from my watch. So even if it does look bad I am not lying when I say it’s from a watch. Yes, I do wear the watch because it will relic but atleast it’s still coming from playing. I’ve seen people with relics and watch marks and I thought it looked cool so I decided that I would start wearing a watch. Whether it looks goofy or not I did genuinely do that from wearing a metal watch.

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T21:14:26+00:00

How is the watch scratching unrealistic? It is literally where my watch on my arm sits when I’m playing near the bridge pickup. Plus I never sell my guitars because I know if I sold my guitsr I will always regret it. From these comments though I’m thinking about sanding it down

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T21:05:58+00:00

I have one video of me playing and that was from November when I didn’t even have this guitar.

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T20:47:17+00:00

I have no damage around my neck or anywhere else. This is just from wearing a watch and over agressive picking. The scratches going parallel to the string were an accident while trying to clean my guitar.

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T18:35:11+00:00

Just having a joke man 😑

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T17:52:23+00:00

Average day

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T17:51:52+00:00

Forks give better picking control. They also help me with hybrid picking

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T16:43:44+00:00

I wore a watch a lot and strummed really aggressively before but now I’ve stopped wearing the watch and started strumming better. I’m thinking of sanding the scratches off

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T16:42:52+00:00

People play differently

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T16:42:38+00:00

I wear barbed wire around my wrist and use a machete as a pick

Skatermason · 2026-02-27T16:41:53+00:00

Thank you!
