    Not much to add on the guitar; just looks like someone added their favorite stickers to it.
    For those that mentioned their guitars, I've got two interesting electrics: a Rickenbacker, heavily modified when I was young and foolish; and a Thomas Maltese Cross - he was a builder in Kent WA in the 1960s, made fantastic instruments, such as one played by Mott the Hoople….similar to this but in black:

    And there's a cute electric mandolin, like a tiny Telecaster..
    And I won't get into the acoustics, or the mandolins or fiddles or octave mandolin or Irish banjos....
    they must be breeding like bunnies in the basement, I don't know where they all come from....

    I put these two together myself. Really too many to show CAE39D2E-F23D-4149-A40D-E5E890A00CF7.jpeg 1F4D56C4-D559-4EDC-87EB-BC574D2B662D.jpeg BD99BEE8-5900-4624-8474-070BCE2833C3.jpeg 27184A4B-88CD-4D83-BCB3-5B628D6F7275.jpeg

    Them's purdy. Hope they sound good too. I've seen a few cigar box guitars before, but the only homebrew electric I've seen was pictures of Les Paul's original.

    For some reason didn’t see the original posting. I agree that the body is probably at Squire Strat, the plate on the back is probably not the original serial number and the neck is either a Mossrite (read Rsmones) replica or an Epiphone bolt on 1970s neck. The inscription on the back is most likely reference to Ian Curtis of Joy Division

    Just an oldie asking a question. What type of person would put Follow your leader followed by a picture of Hitler on a guitar? It is ironical that lower down is a sticker saying "anti racist"
