Members orange worker Posted January 6, 2011 Members Share Posted January 6, 2011 Does it really double your guitar in value?

Members theboywho Posted January 6, 2011 Members Share Posted January 6, 2011 The dings look ok, but the forearm and belt relicing looks like its just been cleanly plained off... Someone should offer $100... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted January 6, 2011 Members Share Posted January 6, 2011 I wonder how he stripped the poly off of it. I've seen worse jobs, and I like a good relic if done right, but this seems like an attempt to make a quick profit, and given this models heritage, is really reaching.

Members mvaarning Posted January 6, 2011 Members Share Posted January 6, 2011 Why on earth would anybody do that to a new guitar? I mean, I love the look of a guitar where it's possible to see the wear and tear from several years of playing, but that right there is just plain wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The dings look ok, but the forearm and belt relicing looks like its just been cleanly plained off... This No offense, but those arm wear points look pretty fake to me. Poly is pretty darned hard to relic authentically. Nitro FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RadioSilence Posted January 6, 2011 Members Share Posted January 6, 2011 You want a relic guitar? Play your guitar more. my jazz bass is 12 years old, i've played it regularly in bands and for recording, i've lent it to other bands; it's travelled to paris and toured poland. it's been looked after but never mollycoddled; it's just a MIM fender, not a custom shop one-off. it has a grand total of two small dings and a tiny buckle scratch on the back. there is no wood showing anywhere. the super-thick polyurethane finish has done a superb job at protecting it. the only problem is i want it to look like it's been played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For better or worse, this is just a very durable finish. I prefer an older finish, nitro, worn in some, just feels better, and I do think it's better at letting the wood breath. May be bull{censored}, but there is a reason older guitars have a great sound, the wood is aged, and not having a poly finish let's them age naturally. Now with this guitar, i have no idea how he stripped off the poly, yet still allowed the original color to show throw, unless he stripped the whole thing, and then redid it, but I don't think so. Older guitars also had the luxury of having really nice quality wood that is in harder to get these days, especially for mass produced $450 guitars.

Members thezeng Posted January 6, 2011 Members Share Posted January 6, 2011 LOL at the picking arm relic'd part. It just looks wrong and funny. He also used a lighter for the headstock which looks really strange. I really hope he doesn't have 4 of these or something sitting in his house.

Members RoboPimp Posted January 6, 2011 Members Share Posted January 6, 2011 relicing is a lie for those who wear ties and work in suits but like to pretend they're a hoot a rough and ready rocker cooked up by betty crocker they wouldn't have a chance to play for a day let alone the decades of fray that most of these relics attempt to display even tho they end up looking passe Get some real wear and tear not this manufactured fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
