though if u get it at 50 u could have kind of a old guitar/nirvana crap guitar to show off. :)

The guitar seems to be redone quite a long time ago. One look, can tell its a "CHEAPO POOR COPY", as the dimensions are totally out even if you compare it to a normal strat. If you noticed on the headstock, the curved shape is wrong, there are old string tree holes, which were not patched up, just lacquered over. The DIY lacquer is also very visible. The body and pickguard is also very 'out'. Not to mention, the poor quality wood fretboard.

My guess it's just some ones' project guitar maybe in the eighties, as some of the parts are changed. Hey, if the parts are of good brand, this is a worthwhile buy after all. Just see what is his final asking price.

OK, after another look, the hardware and electronics seem to be crappy stuff too. Stay clear unless you want to get it to hang HIGH up on the WALL as display. I wouldn't cause, some smarty pants will surely laugh at me.

Reminds me of the late eighties where counterfieting reaches unseen level and cheesiness. (T-shirts with big BOSS, VERSARCE..etc printed on it)

Heehee....that's not a very nice thing to do. It's not like he is asking $500 for it. At $50 start price, he just seem to want to get rid of it only, which I think its a fair price even if it's a fake.
