Kind of looks like those Strat cakes people make.

Maybe it's a 'Trick 'o' Treat' Strat. The blue/yellow color combo is kind of attractive.
It think it's an unfortunate picture taken. 200 bucks? might be worth an inquiry.

Some things are seriously wrong with that "guitar". Note the pickups are not aligned with the neck and bridge. It looks like a toy or a model, with over-sized knobs and jack plate, ill-fitting pick guard, no logo. Not worth any where near $200 IMO. Yuck!

So you guys think it's a Strat cake on a licorice stand? Let's shoot him an email!
I think it's a lousy shot of a picture, incorrect white balance and typically disproportionate for a cheap cellphone wide angle lense, which exaggurates the closer lower end of the motive, while it dramatically shortens the leaning back part of the neck and headstock.

Ps, she is sitting on an acoustic guitar stand. Those naturally have longer rods/bars whatyoumaycallit to set the guitar down and a lower point the rest the back of the guitar. This always results in more of a tilt-back then in regular electric guitar stands. That, the type of lense and the low position of the camera puts out this kind of abnormal visual.

But, if afterall, it is a Strat cake, I'll have a slice ... not for 200 bucks though.

I prefer Gibson ES-335 cakes, cause they're bigger so there's more cake, as long as it's not semi-hollow.

It's the guitar I'm sure, and not the pic.

You're in Phoenix, man. I think you should contact him, tell him you'd like to place an order for one of his Stratcakes! ... with a side of ice cream "a la mode" for the Strat afficionados in the band.

Maybe it's just one of those mini replicas that you sit on your desk not made of some kind of food substance?

It's definitely a toy of x-mas ornament or something - look at the size of the folds in the sheet backdrop.

someone needs to request additional pics and post them for lolz

Offer to trade his this laptop
