Ugly or beautiful - what's the concensus?

Just came across this customised Fender on e-bay:

What's the concensus on this one? Is it ugly or beautiful?

Fugy.
Probably wouldn't have been too bad before the curious sander job.

There are a few marks in the lacquer here and there where the body has rested against a textured surface and it has left a feint impression however you cant see any of that when you are a foot or more away; Robin tells me [b]it may T cut out or 1000000 grit [/b]sand

The "uber talented Robin" knows his stuff eh. :)

I'm guessing they mean members with less than 10 feedback

To answer the OP... If the colours weren't quite so vibrant, and if that weird sanding thing hadn't happened i'd quite like it!

Mine looked similar to that once I started sanding it, not afterwards. If only I had known - I could have made a killing by putting it on eBay.

I'm guessing the expert refinisher lent the body against something before the lacquer had hardened?
