I'm not big on carved/stickered bodies, but this looks pretty cool to me and I'm not into pirates!
It's a partscaster, only issue I have is with the headstock having Fender woodburned into it and no info available on the back of the headstock (serial number). So, you'd have to take the sellers' word for what it's made of.
I'll probably watch the auction to see if his reserve is met.
