New strat day, sort of.

Sign in to disble this ad
So I was on my way to get some coffee this morning and I found this sprawled out all over the road LOL!
I’m debating on whether or not I should try and re-build it just for kicks.
Anyways here’s the pictures.

I'd glue it back together with dark-red dyed glue and staple the seams after the glue cures...resurrection to match the horrorshow carnage of its destruction. And don't scrape away the dried glue squeeze-out.

It's a broken Washburn, not a broken Fender, but it'll still give you some money. Money's always nice! Anyway, if you wish to keep it, or if no one wants to buy it, rebuild it and use it! Just for fun!

On a more serious note I think I’m going to glue it all back together, assemble it and leave it with its scars.
This is a cheap guitar to begin with so I’ll just go for something that will look cool hanging on the wall.

No it’s Eric Clapton’s old guitar.

I second the red glue idea, or neon green would be cool too. (can you even buy that)
