Whoa! what happened? I guess you will sand, prime and paint that thing pretty soon eh? Looks a little 'road wore' to me.. I'm sure you can fix it all up looking like new again. Enjoy the restoration!

That looks nice! I hate strats when they look so clean and new! Don't look like real guitars... they look like toys to me. But getting that sweet strat tone out of them and beat the body up a bit, and mmm... you look like a good damn pro!

I have a early 70's telecaster bass with one small nick in the body and a little corrosion on the metal tuning pegs. I will put pics on here. What would it take to upgrade the electronics and get the metal re-cromed??? anyone

Funnily enough, the strats I've played so far had necks that felt way thicker than the Jazz necks I've come across so far.

(Nice relic job, by the way!)
