LOL! Are my eyes not working well tonight, or does this auction look like some sort of bizarre joke?

Definitely different...

But it's the painted "binding", painted Fender logo, and thick poly coat that really raised my eyebrows. Wacky stuff...

Yeah, wenge should be oiled only! Seriously. And basses are great with wenge, I think it would just sound all sorts of odd on a guitar.

i think you picked the one standard option to think was strange

this one popped up on the unofficial warmoth forum a day or so ago... and just. wow. as somebody there said, the headstock binding looks like it was painted by a 4 year old. and why the HEAVY gloss finish over wenge?!

Yeah painting Wenge is like airbrushing the Mona Lisa ... sure it might seem like a good idea when drunk. In reality, it's a heinous crime.

Maybe the binding and fret markers are glow in the dark !!!! :bling:

This thing looks like someone's really bad idea gone WAY bad. It looks like a waste of good time and materials, but maybe it plays good, eh? Performance is usually everything to me, but I'll make an exception in this case...........

Wtf?

Re: Somebody snatch this SWEET Strat neck up...

Right idea, poor execution. I think a fender neck would look awesome with some binding around the headstock. It probably would look better if he didn't put such a thick layer. The finish does look horrible, though.

the headstock binding looks like it was painted by a 4 year old

A 4 year old with terrible hand-eye coordination.
