The T-bird N pu J looks killer - with a J under the hood - I wish I could hear it! And the "1962 pre-CBS" is hilarious. (wow... must have been a one-off that Leo himself carved with a bowie knife out of a prime maple log!)

Internet stuff. The last one isn't "distressed" and I'm not even a 5er guy but I thought it was cool. It was made for Benjamin Orr of The Cars and was at auction.

Had to dodge like 52 stupid Will Smith memes while waist deep in garbage for these. Here.
I threw in a Tele from Dave's just because.

FCS? I'll give the person who did that an A for effort, and a B for creative intent. It's not believable as something that would have been 'player worn', but it looks like they made some aesthetic decisions as they were 'distressing' it, creating a unique "look". Not something I would personally be drawn to, but someone likes it. FTR, (and some may already know this) the over-painting of already finished bodies at Fender back in the '60s was not very common. It happened when a finish had flaws or they needed a different colour asap, but was a very rare occurrence. At least as far as I've read. It's understandable why it's become such a style/look because it's multi-dimensional.
