after 11 years, this puppy's seen better days. gouge through the fretboard, now evenly filled with dirt, from when i threw my guitar in a drunken rage (happens often lol) ... varous chips and bruises, nothing huge though. the little knob that holds the strap fell off 2 years ago and i've been playing by putting the patch chord through it to hold it up haha. it's a strat. and it's never gonna die.
