For all you people out there that like to boast about your Strats dents, cracks, breaks, or overwhelming grim and how it got there. Here is your chance to share a picture of it with the community. If you do not like your guitar's damage, maybe contributing to this thread will give you some closure.

Tell us about the guitar and how the damage got there. Post a picture of the damage as well.

Here is my 2003 MIM Strat. I got it off eBay a couple of months ago. It was almost completely new except for a dent in the corner of the body. It's not all bad, I got it for $250 due to the small dent in it.

I've got belt buckle scratches on the back of my Strat, but it's Olympic White, so it's hard to see them, so there's really no point in posting a picture of something I'm sure you've all seen anyway.

Open a free account with Photobucket.com and you can upload your pictures from there using the " img " setting.

If you use flicker there will be a URL at the bottom of the page and you can just copy and paste that when using the "img" buttons. Flicker will also give you a choice of the picture size. So you don't have to worry about resizing.

Here's a shot of my headstock repair that was done about 6 years ago. If you look at the edge of the headstock along the tuners you can see these circles that are tinted a little different shade than the wood, there's seven of'em. My headstock cracked down the whole length of all six tuners, so I put some wood glue in the crack and countersunk seven screws and filled over them with wood filler and then put some polyurethane over'em to kinda seal them up. The repair turned out better than I thought it would. You can still see the long crack but the picture doesn't show it too good.

Wow that is crazy, I would have never thought to try all that. I have done a good number of furniture wood repair work, but I probably would have been looking for a new neck in that case. Nice job!

That's the first thing I was gonna do, hehe, but I thought if I put a new neck on I would no longer have a *Fender* neck. So that got me to thinking about ways to fix it and this was the only thing I could come up with.

I appreciate the comments from you guys.

Nice job! Can I ask how the crack happened? And also I'm curious as to whether you feel the sound of your instrument is any different.
