If you can picture yourself on stage with an orange guitar by all means go ahead and buy it
 Listen to the acoustics of it, does it sustain, is the sound full. <- with it unplugged And make sure the neck isn't twisted. All the rest can be fixed one way or another. You could take off of the price if you find something out of order but if the neck is ok and the wood has a good tone you should be fine. Possibly you can cut more off of the price, I don't think the color attracts that many buyers and he's had to lower it so much already he must be desperate to sell.

@ Crazyfret: Thanks! I will put those things on my list.
@ MickeM: Picture myself with an orange guitar... hell yeah!!!  Monsterrelics... I think it's this: http://www.monsterrelic.com/  What does a twisted neck look like by the way? That's probably a stupid question, but I'm Dutch and in the meaning of the word it would look like two snakes strangled together..! -------------------- Wishlist: the world.

Well if you look down the neck from the body end the frets should look roughly paralell to each other (they are slightly curved due to the radius of the finger board). If the neck is 'twisted' the frets will look as though they are closer on one side than the other. I could do with finding a picture to show you.

Remember that, whether you like it or not, a colour like that will have a major impact on the guitars value if you ever decide to part with it.

As I wrote in the post above its a vintage replica. Monsterelic guitars sell new (looking old and vintage) depending on the specs for about 1300 USD.

QUOTE (SonofDestiny @ Nov 5 2008, 10:18 AM) Hey guys, This Friday I'm going to Belgium to take a look at the Stratocaster of which I uploaded the picture. The specs are the following:Body: Alder, fender japan. Neck: fender usa, c-shape, rosewood fredboard, vintage frets Tuners: Kluson deluxe Hardware: Fender usa Pickups: Steffesen vintage What do you guys think? I talked to Kjutte about it and he said that I had to check the tremelo system. Any more of those things I might want to keep in mind? The guy that's selling it says that the original price was waaaay over 1000 euros (about $1300+) and is selling it for 450 euros (580 dollars) now. He also mentioned that the guitar was put together by monsterrelics. What else... hmm he's selling it because he only plays gypsy now. It sounds like a really good and honest deal to me, but I would like to hear what you guys think. I want this guitar so badly that I already named it Betsie and I might not be able to see the bad things in her  Thanks in advance! 1300$ is 1000e man, it is not waaaay over 1000e. You can check this out on any currency list on the web. Also for 450e you can't expect miracles. My guess frets are worn out, and the sound isn't that great. Don't expect full Strat sound definitely, it's mediocre guitar. But if you like it and like the sound of it, I think you should get it. Just don't watch it as a real strat, it is best to look at it as a guitar that is similar to strat, and if it has a good sound and feel, than it's for you, if not, just skip it. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
