fhopkins please stop writing false statements about what I have posted here you seem to take half of what I say and add the other dribble and rubbish from your inate and incoherant brain best to verbally shut it or be accurate or better still stay away if you cannot be civil to me. Now really I never said my 1980 standard strat cost me 10k its worth about 4500 I still own it. Sam Leach was the mersey beat pioneer and the first promoter and manager of The Beatles now he is my manager go shove your head between your legs fhopkins I dont have to prove jack $@!& to you you sound about 14 years old maybe 15.

Simone ive just been emailed by the one of the first original owners it was all a lie he said he saw the add and tried to warn me but ebay stopped him communicating with me he said he owned it for 20 years unlike the story that a dead vet owned it for 50 years he told me he hated this vietnam strat so much that he dropped it on its head and split the head stock in half I proffessionally reglued it as soon as I got it he then claims to have got pliers and ripped the first tuner off in anger and then he dropped it off to the auction house where apparantly this gentleman paid 280.00 aussie dollars for it. It never came from a dead vet whose sad daughter later sold it that was all lies in the add this man reckons unless he was fed lies from the auction house but Im sorry the owner who attacked thjis guitar after 20 years didnt totally destroy it but he did attack the guitar hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha
I want to pour petrol on it and burn it so it will never hurt anyone else again I really dont feel like sending it back

Vinny, it's all in this thread for all who can go back and read it. If you don't want what you say known don't write it. Your threats are futile my friend! Read what the other posters say it's not only me. You are the one who has acted very immature here. Telling all how famous you could have been and so desperately want to be. So , you see it is you that needs to mature my friend!

Vinny, seriously you need to speak to a professional. I hope you do and all gets back on track for you. I'm scared that you may do something irrational!

fhopkins show me where I said my 1980 strat is worth 10k go on

My mum said I need to see a psychiatrist hahahhahahhahahahhaha love you mummy dearest

You are correct. You did not say it was worth 10k. I went back and changed that part of my post but the rest is there to be read. Sorry!

I did not post any of the above ramblings! You did! I will not post anymore about you as I don't want to be the one who sends you over the edge! I've heard about these things!

Well this was the start of the ball of %^$@ rolling down hill and gaining miomentium. It's sad that someone would pay 6000.00 for a guitar when its obvious they don't no anything about them. And we have had a few jump on the forums with some strange tales. And to say Lonely boy was documented and then weave a tale did nothing but bring the knowledgable members to there peak of curiosity and show different.

The newest additions to this thread made my Monday evening.

My own small investigative contribution: a few minutes of scouring the iTunes store turned up something rather interesting. There is indeed an album by an artist called Vinny Pop available for the bargain price of $9.99. Bizarrely titled Golden Blue, it contains tracks entitled "Paradise," "Eyes of Gold," "You got Style" and, marvelously, "Let the Good Times Roll."

My Raskolnivok-esque level of destitution prevented me from purchasing it and being subsequently amazed by the artist's virtuosity, piety and musical reverence, but I thought I'd point out that it does, in fact, exist. Whether or not our intrepid poster is the same Vinny Pop, I can't say. Perhaps it's all an elaborate hoax, perpetrated by Vinny Pop's manager to sell more Vinny Pop records.

Wow, with the latest posts, accusing detractors of childishness,if our new friend here were to start talking about 'the usual three' and highway ones I would change his name to alwaysvinniestrat2004!!

Perhaps its Macca's new stage name. Vulkan i wouldnt pay $10 for it either.

Heres that 58 strat for £7K. Looks ok to me. Pots and pickups look correct and the blatantly replaced E+E saddles dont lend to any kind of fakery either.

Looking at it again what do you lot think about the extra added pickguard screws? A pickguard anti warp measure? Obviously added after manufacture.

Does Sam Leach know he is your manager? I see plenty of references to this by you across the internet including pictures of Sam Leach with... Paul McCartney, but no mention from Sam Leach. This defies the typical manager/promoter to artist relationship.

He does have two clients on his page, but one is a bikini model and the link does not work while the other is a singer/dancer named Cherrie that shows Meet Geraldyn! on the window title bar when you open the link. I assume, fairly confidently, that neither is you.
