'Stratocaster guitar
£50 Fulham, London'

Found this guitar in my basement. Not sure if this is the make or not but has words fender and stratocaster written on it. My dad seems to think he's heard these before when he was younger and thinks it could be a fairly good make hence why i'm setting the price pretty high at £50. Condition is as you can see in the picture, not great and a little scratched. Open to offers if you you know the guitar industry and can assure me it's not worth 50. Honesty is a virtue though so PLEASE be truthful with me.

Even if you had no idea about guitars whatsoever. You might guess something that is quite heavy, large may be more expensive than let's say a computer game.

Plus the pic is suspicious too. It's all worn out but looks new to me and it was done on purpose. I've seen guitars online with the wear marks in exactly the same place Though I can't find a photo of a same model.

Something stinks but I can't see where this would go. Unless you meet the guy and he hikes up the price. Or the guitar is some cheap guitar with fake fender logos.

Almost blurry.

It's either a fake or some cheap guitar with fender transfers.
OR some other guitar not like the pic.

Still very strange to find something in the basement. Because it would mean somebody would have bought it at some point.
Or it was found in a house they moved into.

All the other alarm bells all over the rest of the ad are just garnish.
