These kittens are two girls and a boy, and my vet told me that if I still have them when they reach sexual maturity, I should at the very least get the boy's harbls chopped, as he WILL try to fuck his sisters.* I can't be having two-faced flipper kittens up in my piece.

Good move, this doesn't seem fun for any one.

This guitar is a circa 1957 Fender Stratocaster. The neck and body have been refinished in nitrocellulose lacquer. The neck is natural, and the body is Fiesta Red. There is evidence in the neck pocket that the body was originally a sunburst that was oversprayed by Fender to Candy Apple Red with a gold undercoat. This was common practice for Fender on custom color guitars in the 1950's and early 1960's. The Fender decal on the headstock seems to be original with the pointed E's. The 5-57 neck date on the heel is not original but is an accurate indicator of the guitars build date. The tuners are original single line Klusons. Several of the pick guard screws seem to have been replaced. The neck has been professionally refretted. The body cavities for the neck and bridge pick ups have been routed a little deeper into the body (but not widened) to accomodate taller pick ups at some time in the past. The dc resistance of the original black bottom pick ups is 5.81k ohms for the bridge and middle, and 5.32 for the neck pick up, which has been rewound. There is evidence of some rewiring. 5 way switch at some point, original 3 way in it now. Pots are stackpole, dated 1957 (304715). The parts currently in guitar appear to be original. The pick guard is a one ply white plastic and appears to be original, but has a substantial crack thru the switch mounting area. There is a steel block on the tremelo bridge, and original tremolo arm, and ash tray. All knobs and tips seem to be original as well. It has a rough, but original 1959 Fender hardshell case. Case has original handle. Latches work, but springs don't. Current market value of original custom color 1957 stratocasters in excellent condition is in the $35,000.00 and up range. This example, due to it's "issues" has a lesser market value. More photo's available upon request. But if you want to look inside, I prefer it done in person.

Ha! I like the obvious logo replacement and the bullet truss rod adjustment on that "'57."
