Peerless Gigmaster? Nice. Shame about the big lump of metal with the slot machine handle at the bottom that's disfiguring it.
Yes, a Peerless Gigmaster SC. However, am mortally wounded by the cruel anti-Bigsby attack. Pillow fight at dawn sir!!!
Almost every guitar I own has a Bigsby.
I’m a huge Bigsby fanboy.
This one has a B700 Bigsby, not one I like much…..however, that’s about to change (but not, but also change significantly).
All will become clear in time…..
That's it, I've finally gone topless.
Sorry.
I mean "headless".
I couldn't resist this for under £120 inc delivery. (Specs below)

Wow
I didn't know you were into bondage Paul.
Roadworn, relic'd (however they spell it), etc. New guitars with the shit deliberately beaten out of them being sold at full price...
They are the guitar forum equivalent of cable threads, or fancy fuse threads on hi-fi forums. Personally, I hate the very idea of them. You can't "buy" mojo. Mojo needs to be earned, and unless you simply must have a Strat that replicates the scratches, scrapes, and burns that Rory Gallagher's Strat accumulated over a lifetime of friendly abuse, or similar, I can see no point in them. The bass forum I belong to has actually banned discussion of these "relics", which I find eminently sensible.

I hated them for years. Then I ended up with one in trade. It was nice not to have to be precious with it, if I dinged of, it was fine, fitted right in. If my toddler granddaughter hit it with something, also fine.

Dinging a brand new factory fresh guitar is heartbreaking, so having a reliced mid priced guitar as a house beater is actually quite freeing.
I remember taking my brand new Ibanez RG500 super strat to band practice in the late 80’s. I was pleased as punch, excited to be giving it its first proper outing. Was absolutely new, perfect paintwork.
Halfway through the first song, the strap slipped off the strap button, and the whole guitar crashed to the floor. No breaks, but huge dent, and paint chips galore. Was heartbreaking. The band roared with laughter.
I quickly learned the value of good quality strap locks.
If that would have happened with a relic, would never have mattered. So I see the point these days.
You could achieve the same effect by purchasing a cheap "beater" in pristine condition and ensuring that it was delivered by Evri.
You could go even further and specify that you'd like the courier to place the package on the ground, at your front gate, and "deliver it" by kicking your parcel all the way to your front door.
Sometimes, you don't even have to ask them for that service.
