And a shotgun...and a blowtorch..and a barbecue grille.

How 'bout that gouged pickguard? What could he have been thinking?

Oh come on now! THAT is a primo relic job! Who would even want to put it back right? That's gotta be the case, otherwise why would the idiots people be willing to pay so much?
