That's pretty cool😎

Coolest relic I've seen in . . . well forever!

Now a Rory Gallagher version. . . That would be extremely tempting!

Beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder. I think it looks cheap and tacky.

And I've seen Rory Gallagher's actual guitar in person - it's fairly nasty looking especially the metalwork. I see that Fender haven't bothered to accurately re-create that, as you'd probably need a Tetanus jab in order to play it!

Kind of - but not a guitar than looks like the one rory played, but one with his mug or silhouette formed from the remaining paint - along the lines of the hendrix strat the thread started off discussing. I guess a combination of the two concepts could be nice!

It looks nice, but if I were a guitarist I think I'd keep it as a wall decoration.... if I were to play it in public, it would only serve to remind the audience how much better it would have been to hear Hendrix!

It DIDN'T sell!!
