What the heck is this?!

This is some joke right?  :icon_scratch:


Unless that's a Strat that's been played a lot by some legend of music, $1.75m is ridiculous. And even then I'd be aruguing about the price tag.  :dontknow:
 
seller has 100 percent positive feedback, I bet at those prices he would, anyone stupid enough to buy it would have to love it and why would you rip off a customer stupid enough to pay that
 
I think it's a typo - look at his other items, 1750 seems in line with those. Seems like he and his regulars are turning it into an inside joke.
 
The Bill Nash website http://www.nashguitars.com/ has some pictures but none with detail of the headstock (at least I didn't immediately see any). He does mention that he obtains his necks from an external supplier, minus the usual sealer coat, because 'it ruins the sound'. So his operation is essentially buying parts, assembling, possibly finishing, and beating the hell out of. Sounds like a fun way to make a living.
 
New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging
 
Bill Nash is a legit guy and has a pretty good reputation.  True, he buys parts and assembles them, but he does a pretty darn good job of it!

Yep, that's kinda what he does. I've never played one, but most people who have tend to rave about his skill in putting the parts together to create a nicely playing, super-vintage guitar.

His headstocks are pretty much always Fender shaped. I can't recall if anyone has ever nailed down where he gets his necks and bodies from. He's been at this for quite a while.
 
This whole relic thing is really getting out of hand. Glad I decided not to go that route, it seems like everyone local has one now.

At least this guy seems to do a nice job, but if you look at them for 2 seconds you realize it's a new guitar relic job which takes away all the fun.
 
In any case it's obviously an advertising gimmick, put up something like that up and it's bound to show up on forums. I wouldn't know him unless someone posted this thread.
 
Some of the best relic jobs I've seen were done with the hardware and pickguard on, or something that left the hardware and pickguard footprint un-relic'd.  Nothing is more unstable than to see scratches and sanding continue under harware that should've stopped it.

Sometimes, yes.  Sometimes, no.  Either way, he does a good job.  If I ever wanted to buy a relic'ed instrument, he'd be first on my list.
 
they had a few of these at a local guitar shop here in San Jose. I thought they were kinda neat. no label on the headstock, really chunky necks (maybe fatback).

Ohh one could guess from looking at the pics he has on his site:

The headstock look a little familiar to anyone?

I'm not bashing the guy at all--Wyliee says he's a straight shooter, and to be honest, its gotta be fun to make some scratch off of your hobby. The guy's really no different than any of us. And I do agree that the relicing craze is getting excessive to a degree, but at the same time, so is the rat rod street machine craze. Personally, I'm more for self-relicing, the way Rory Gallagher and Stevie Ray Vaughan did it.
 
There was one in my local guitar shop. It played nicely and sounded great. Relic'd guitars are not my thing though,so it has never crossed my mind to purchase one.
 
At least it seems he is using quality parts  :cool01:

Actually if you dig deeper into his galleries you can see how he has different degrees of relicing going from just somewhat worn up to completely trashed, with a lot of examples of both looking pretty convincing.
 
take a body, hit it with a sander, tie it behind a car and when you get home reassemble it and put it on ebay
