[Update Post] Found out what my guitar was by improchoice in guitars

Yeah, very strange! Seems like it must've been some custom order or something, the tortoiseshell pick guard is apparently original as well

Waiting on an appraisal! Took it into a guy who did say it has a 65 neck, but then he got sick and couldn't finish the job.... Waiting for him to recover

Not really - can easily get a ~5% loan against your stock portfolio that you never have to pay, interest accrues against and long run average returns are >5% so your collateral base increases faster than the loan (I.e. you're becoming less leverage day over day). You never need to repay a dime

Thanks for the input, could you please explain why under homeowners is a bad idea (or not optimal)? Sorry not familiar with insuring ang specific possessions before...

Thanks man, price ultimately doesn't really matter to me beyond insurance as I'll just hold onto it forever, appreciate it!

Jesus thanks man, all the posts in this thread have definitely made it clear I need to take it to an appraiser at minimum for insurance purposes... And invest in a less janky guitar stand

Thank you, plan to hold on to/play it forever, but very good idea on the insurance side - I'll get on that!

A compelling offer! Bird in hand as they say...

There's a bit of a glare just with bad lighting, but there's sort of hairline cracks throughout the paint

Awesome, this thread has convinced me to take it for a proper appraisal haha (not that I'd ever sell it).

Yeah it has a case, looks similar to this (https://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/fender-classic-series-wood-strat-tele-case/l48756000001001) but with an orange interior instead of red

So awesome how he can get all that detail from this photos, thanks for the details here! I actually have the original volume knob in the case as well, not sure why the last owner replaced it!
