He's roughly a tenth of the way there. I can understand why he wants it but I really don't think it'll change his life. I personally would never give a penny towards something like this but some people obviously do.
I won't be donating but I do think he's cool. I think he's had a tough time along the way, and he's no YouTube millionaire
No amount of vintage Fenders will alter that.
File under 'Cheeky Bastard'....
Is this the modern, 1st world problem, version of "can you spare 10p for a cuppa" - either way it was painful to watch.
This 'try and sell it... then make the product' venture capital bollocks is fucking ruining the WORLD!!!
The whole affair is a bit tragic but can't blame the guy for asking.
What am I saying- of course you can.

So this is a guy who I've never heard of before asking the general public to fund him a vintage guitar.
What do the investors get in return? If it's nothing and it's just a donation it sits really uncomfortably with me. If you really want a vintage fender then go out and earn enough money so you can do that - or use what you can afford.
Is this guy thinking a 62 Strat is going to be his golden ticket to being a successful artist? Or maybe he's just doing this to bring attention to his work? If it's the former someone really needs to tell him that a decent guitarist will make a sub £500 Mexican Strat just as good on any record.
£7,000 would make a world of difference to any other number of causes. It could replace the belongings of a family who have lost everything in a towerblock fire. It could provide life saving equipment to a hospital - the list is endless.
But if he does really want this then do the right thing. Work very hard, as many hours as you can not just on music but cleaning toilets, stacking shelves, bar work . By putting in good honest graft the prize at the end will be so much sweeter.
(just for the record I have no issue with anyone owning expensive and or vintage instruments - just do it honestly not begging from strangers)
Go, Dave!
