Members otherdimensions Posted April 19, 2009 Members Share Posted April 19, 2009 Na I don't really care if others do it. If that's their thing. But it's not for me. Having strong opinions about others opinions about whether or not others should relic their instruments is kind of lame, too... Hey, I don't feel strongly I swear!

Members gitarzan Posted April 19, 2009 Members Share Posted April 19, 2009 This new relic trend is stupid, kind of the same way buying pre-ripped faded, distressed jeans is. Define New. I remember guitars being relic'd at least 10-12 years ago. http://www.harmony-central.com/Events/WNAMM96/Fender/relic-60s.html Clearly there is a market.

Members gitarzan Posted April 19, 2009 Members Share Posted April 19, 2009 You'll never see cars, antiques or anything else old "reliced" on purpose. Yes you do. It's not done on new, Vehicles are too expensive but I've seen many old motorcycles and some cars, hacked down into the "Rat class" Rat Bike: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fightthepower Posted April 19, 2009 Members Share Posted April 19, 2009 I love semantics at work. Damaged, non-pristine guitars and amps are now reliced. Total You'll never see cars, antiques or anything else old "reliced" on purpose. To most collectors, you either restore something to be how it was new, leave it alone (original-ness, highly valued on cars) or modify it. The end. I think the new "relic my guitar" fad is absolutely horrid. You're right, you'll never see antiques relic'd. That much we can all agree on.
