Road Worn, if the road was a Sharpie

Going over the Sharpie with white board marker and then wiping would get rid of all of that in about 5 minutes. 

Assuming that the fingerboard discolouration is just ink on clear urethane, you could be right. I have a horrid feeling that the perpetrator may have gouged the "fingernail" shapes into the neck first.

Alcohol-based hand cleaner removes permanent marker from non-absorbent surfaces.

Be grateful that the punk strumpet has yet to discover scalloping!

I read the ad.

The relicing is symptomatic of people that say 'myself' when they mean 'me'.

F'me looks likes a pic of a relic Strat  done in Microsoft paint.

Need a bad relic thread....

I know I'm overthinking this, but why would you wear really odd selections like that, the shapes make no sense...

Actually the marks are in a secret code. It translates as "Please check my medication".

This is why you don't give crayons to 5 year olds.

Allan Holdsworth scales. Steve Vai circular vibrato.

Either the guy's pet rabbit came down with a spot of rabies and gnawed on it, or an ex-wife/girlfriend tried to smash it up and couldn't quite manage.

There was a guitar up a while back which had been chewed by an escaped hamster!

Gumtree ad withdrawn. Boo, hiss.   

Thank Clapton for the eBay version.

Sweet mother of god what the fuck is that?

Whatever it is, it sold on eBay for £130. 

Assuming that the permanent marker can be cleaned off the neck varnish, the purchaser could afford to throw the rest of it away and source a new body. 

File under project.

"Sold for: £130.00" holy moly !

prowla

I offered the seller £100, so he's made an extra £30 over my valuation!

Funkfingers

...which eBay and PayPal will deduct. 

All in all, a hard lesson.
