Is that a Torx screw head visible in the lower right or just an odd reflection of the light? If so, it might provide some sense of scale and is also indicative of some kind of "higher tech", aka something most of us are less prone to fiddle with (computer switching power supply case).

I will confirm it is a screw head in the cropped photo, but I'm not sure that it is a Torx, but it is certainly possible. Had to look up when Torx was invented so that also provides a date window. "higher tech".........well, probably not by today's standards, but still a classic.

It's a hard photo to see. whenever i click on your photos to enlarge them. i get to your hosting account and see all five or six of them. This time it wants me to place them in a shopping cart and buy them.
thing spring was not so good for many of my flowers. None of my alpine phlox bloomed, no irises and tulips were weak. On the plus side i had the most blooming daffodils ever and my mums are bigger than beach balls already. In a few days i'll be tripping over lillies.

Here's a little more.....and some screws,



and a bit of another area....

Same thing as Robert. When I try to enlarge the image I get redirected to your photo hosting service and see all of them. Last one shows five music wire strings. I would have to say it's a guitar but based on the construction it would be an electric guitar? I don't know enough about them to guess the specific make/manufacturer.

That is interesting. Now Rufus now knows to post one whatzit clue on SmugMug at a time. Or maybe he will decide it is not worth the trouble.

Anyway, after several attempts to duplicate youse method, I succeeded and will guess it is a Fender Strat with a Mexi Tremolo Bridge Assembly.

Ah, but which one - very, very specific and 1 of a kind due to its owner and history. And I think that's a Kahler tremolo system....

I realize that "alls fair in love and" games but enlarging the photo takes the fun out of the game and the surprise from the reveal.
I realize that I am not good at this but still ----

Many of them, but as far as I know not in this coloration.

If a person had Time and Money, could they buy it in The dark side?

With enough time and money, almost anything it possible. But this particular item has changed owners relatively recently. That's a big hint for you.
