Members bloolight Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 As far as the relic job is concerned, it is subtle enough that it doesn't annoy me. As far as the Fender decal is concerned, I'd probably remove it. Not that having that decal affects Fender in any way...they lost their money when you bought the copy instead of the real thing. I'd just think you'd rather highlight the uniqueness of the guitar, rather than its...um...influences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members almightycrunch Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 So, would you people have the same issue with someone buying a used Fender neck on Ebay and slapping it on a G&L body for use, because, down the road it might change hands a few times and someone might think it is a Fender?

Members Ged LST Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 I think the negative comments are a bit based on some idiot a little while ago that was bragging about trying to sell fake Fenders to Guitar Centre, troll troll troll.So, I'm sure all these nice folk are just looking out for the little guy, not bagging you.Nice work mate - Ged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ged LST Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 I don't think that $1,395 is cheap... but congrats Was it in US Dollars or Australian Buckazoids? - Ged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dcindc Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 That's a nice looking guitar, and I don't see anything wrong with having a "Fender" logo on a non-Fender guitar. ...provided you don't ever try to sell it as a Fender. That's exactly how I feel. And I really like it. It's subtle and looks much more authentic than most relics, except for the spanky new hardware of course.I'd rub some dirt in the fretboard bald spots though.

Members guitar-fish Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 Scratch off the Fender logo, and put a Gibson logo there. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HanSolo Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 Be careful and watch over your shoulder for the guitar police. They wear sunglasses and play un-marked guitars. You can't tell who they are, but they are there and they know who you are!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Coralkong Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 Was it really $1400? That actually changes my opinion a bit, if that is the case. Why not buy a real one at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually changes my opinion a bit, if that is the case.Why not buy a real one at that point? because the real ones are more expensive? sorry to sound like a dick here, but, just check my location, and try to be unlike (in my opinion) the vast majority of americans who don't think outside their country border. p.s. i really don't have anything against americans (and i am infact technically a yank too- dual citizenship -but i consider myself australian first, american second) and for Mr.WOW - check out his website he does pretty much everything you could ever want at good prices (and he's based in melbourne so you could actually go see before buying!) http://www.northcoastguitars.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stanfield Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 because you bought a reliced guitar, you have to play it twice as hard and drop it a few times. it's unfortunate, but must be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
