Members Ron Burgandy Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 I can only imagine the critics pointing out the poorly done relicing if I posted pics at one of those forums. Ah well, I'll just have to deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think there's an art to doing it properly just like painting or staining a guitar, and it may not pan out well though something can be learned from trying.

Members FastRedPonyCar Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 Relic'ing is easily the worst trend to hit the guitar community in a looooong time. I look forward to what my tokai looks like in 30 years. It's already got some "character" and the cool thing is, I know the story behind each one.

It's not really for me but for those that like the look I don't see anything wrong with it if it's done decently. I know guys that have played their guitars for 20 years and they still don't really look reliced. They have some scratches and dings but not really reliced looking. For people that like that look it's sometimes impossible to get that look through playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look of relic guitars, i owned one of my zakk wylde les pauls for 11 years and never babied it, i played it all the time but even after 11 yrs it didnt look like a relic, i had to get rid of it because the neck was messed up really bad or i would still be playing it. I guess if i played 4 or 5 shows a week in different climates it might have looked much different. Most of hcaf makes fun of relics but theres still a few people that like it when done correctly.
