Would you pay $59,950 for this ugly thing?

even if I had money to throw away or burn I wouldn't

eta that the text indicates it was altered to get paid 3 times the rate. What a joke except I think it's for real that price.
Here's a 1951 Fender Nocaster converted in a "Payola" style. These guitars were built by recording studio/musicians in the early 1950's in order to get paid 3 times for one track, by going through 3 different amps at once.

I find it very, very hard to believe that a 1951 Fender would have such a clean, unstained layer of 70+ year old thin skin nitrocellulose lacquer atop a maple fingerboard if it was owned by a union member session player.
Meanwhile, a paper trail should exist or be relatively easy to obtain if this instrument was tied to a union, a member, his pay stubs/receipts to the union and from the studio(s). Zero provenance even mentioned in the ad.
Until then, I see a $599.50 parts donor Telecaster at best.

I opened this thread and got a good belly laugh. Thank you.
Would not buy.
I don’t get this

Looks like an Ed Roman special.

I was going to say "I'd need to run that by Fret Shack first," but I see you've already spoken.

Looks like something the Russian KGB would design for one of their spies, who's cover was a guitar player in a rock n' roll band in 1967, in the USA.

Seeing as how the first studio multitrack wasn't created until 1957, and the technology wasn't in widespread studio use until the early 1960s or so (and only in the US, the rest of the world didn't get any of this until the mid to late 60s), seems pretty questionable.

Let me call in a friend that knows a lot about guitars.

Free Shipping though.

I think that would be the point of using a guitar like that, because they didn't have multitrack. 1 guitar player playing through 3 different amps from 3 different pick ups, to get the sound of 3 different guitar players all at the same time in the same room.
I don't know how well it would work, but I get the idea. I know I wouldn't want to rewire that thang.
