This is what it looked like when I picked it up from a garage sale for $60. This is after I sticker bombed it. I liked it, but wasn't feeling the stickers popping off and didn't have the resources to epoxy coat it.

That looks awesome! How did you give it that wood plank look? Reminds me a bit of James Hetfield's guitar that is made of the garage they used to record in.

Thanks! I took a circular saw and set the blade depth really low. Like 1/8". Then I used a nail set and pounded in what looked like nail holes.
