Interesting..........especially the price
Every rock artist worth their salt needs a signature geetar these days apparently. The ones that really amuse me are the ones designed to make them look as knackered and worn as the artist's original... eg https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/230203400134025--fender-custom-shop-rory-gallagher-stratocaster-3-colour-sunburs?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwr7ayBhAPEiwA6EIGxLCs7d3cmtZAubrIka419mT0dILonNeCYOCkihRdplXGts2iipIvhhoCOzwQAvD_BwE
LOL 5 grand for rusty strings....who'd a thunk it?
