99-ish Fender strat w/ bondo
12 months ago
I try to pay less than $200 for cheap guitars, but this one was around $220 because it’s a proper American made Fender Stratocaster w/ a fancy pickup and hardware. I think it would retail used for about $700? But this looks like a shop project for the last owner. It appears s/he tried to sand off the finish, got into trouble when they started gouging the wood and then applied some bondo to build it back up. The net result is a fugly guitar with bondo, but in great working condition. Sounds great, too.
I kind of like the messed up bondo job so I’m leaving it as an art experiment. I believe it’s of the late 90s or early 00s. Anyone know how to tell?
