Amazingly there have been 10 bids on this monstrosity.

As for the Squier, apart from the ridiculous £220 incl. starter price, what is the guy on about? Quote: The Squier Fat Strat guitar features an alder body and bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, with three single coil pickups and one humbucking pickup at the bridge position. Unlike the pics in the auction, which features a maple fingerboard and the standard 3xSC (mustard mitt, a Strat with an extra HB squeezed in would've been worth a look. Custom Shop "Tufnel" Strat perhaps):

I bought it for about £40 and later on sold it to a girl in France for over £100 - she was keen to buy because it was just like a guitar she used to own and love. To be fair to it, it was actually quite a nice player. Last edited by glw on Thu Feb 22, 2007 10:02 am; edited 1 time in total
