Members billybilly Posted December 31, 2013 Members Share Posted December 31, 2013 Buy a strat, give it to me to drag behind my pickup on a chain and I'll charge $500 for the service. Awesome!I could make a better guitar than that, IMO, for less than half of what this clown is charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guitar looks like Ethan Allen furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stormin1155 Posted December 31, 2013 Members Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hmmm..... interesting take on making a relic.... Instead of attempting to make it look like natural wear, apply an overall distressed look like distressed furnature..... I'm not sure I like it, but at least people will know the distressed look was done intentionally and you're not just playing some fifty year old, beat up guitar.

Members Virgman Posted December 31, 2013 Members Share Posted December 31, 2013 I think it is a pretty cool looking guitar.No one with any brains will believe it is a authentic vintage guitar with road-worn wear of course.Most likely this builder is not making these guitars in the attempt to fool anyone, just for those who like the look. With that in mind it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Malcolm Ramone Posted January 1, 2014 Members Share Posted January 1, 2014 Pitiful attempt at a relic! As if the paint would wear off right to the edge of the pickguard. Total fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleTrails Posted January 1, 2014 Members Share Posted January 1, 2014 Well, those pickups really are pretty good. I'm not a big fan of relicing, and given a choice why would you use a sugar pine body on an expensive guitar? Decent tone, but I'd be really worried about damage. Oh, right, it's already "damaged." Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nomadh Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 This certainly is more interesting than plain shiny black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
