Strat on CL; WTF? What happened?

[Markedman]

So, I saw this and said to myself, this poor guitar, why would someone do this to it? Why why why, I want to cry!!! Sigh.

The scalloping is OK, it's the burning/gauging of the body that gets my nerve!

That's relicing, a new trend in guitar industry.

The price will now be somewhere around 3-4k.

1k? Good luck with that.

If a big star had that guitar then everyone would love it and would fetch stupid money. If the average Joe thinks outside the norm it's junk.
