this guy is rocking a toilet seat guitar
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

pretty sure they were doing sunburst back in 1954, give or take. Though it was a 2 tone.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

" 70's fenders where they invented Sunburst "
Sunburst was a colour option in 1954
and I'd be very surprised about plywood. Shit QA department and build quality in certain years but otherwise, yeah.

Though quite happy to be proved wrong...

just that you've claimed that 20 years of fender strats. 1965 - 1985 were made from plywood, or am I mistaken?

Gibson were doing sunburst mandolins in the 1920s and even earlier.

I think someone must be referring to that "red wines, mate" finish. ;)
