No kidding! Who cares about some cosmetic damage, I bet that guitar is heavy as a truck and great sounding. For $60 I'm also guessing it's already gone. Here's Walter Trout's '73 Strat if you want to talk about "cosmetic" damage. I'm changing the D string for him and had to take a picture - this was Artic White at one time! Lots of smoky bar abuse, but oh what great tone he could get out of it!
