I'm just browsing for parts, as I've got an idea for a build, when this shows up.

What an amazing thing, I'd love to listen if that guitar could talk.

That is interesting. I wonder what in the hell happened to it?

Read the description. It was a guitar used in a prison by inmates.

Even has a prison SN on a plate on the back, below the neck plate.

Wow, never heard anything about that, before. Prison Strat. From the looks of it, maybe somebody used it to bust somebody upside the head. :P Nice headstock repair there.

I'd snap it up in a heartbeat if I had the cash.

Even though I really don't like Stratocasters.

I don't blame you. I would too if I had the extra cash for it.

Tbh, just because of how interesting it is, it's worth the refret, rebuild, and repair.

And it screams "I need help from Dimarzio!" to me.

Let me ask you this: can anything meaningful be inferred (the style of music it might have been used to play, for instance) by the wear patterns on the fretboard?

It had a Floyd, was owned by inmates, and played to hell and back.

I imagine metal.

heh :P

I love it, though. I'd throw a BIN offer of $225 and get it over with if I had it.

When I think of prison, I'd imagine some nasty, old school, country blues in the likes of T-Model Ford or R.L. Burnside to be played on it. I guess that's another time period, though and they didn't use Floyd Rose equipped guitars, usually.
