Members kurtisqpublic Posted February 21, 2011 Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 Accidentally picked one of these up on ebay last week. All the relic hate aside... Yes I paid more than I should have, since I know of the GC 550 blow out on these. This one is a surprising non fake looking relic version, i have seen some badly done guitars in this series. I played it for a few songs at a gig this weekend and was surprised at how well it played and how GOOD it sounded. It won't dethrone my Parker but it IS a really nice guitar! and may become number two for teh country project I'm working with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kurtisqpublic Posted February 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 I can try for some pics today. I thought there would be all kinds of abuse on this one. Seems to be a real love hate kind of guitar. Funny I'm using the strummer for country! LOL:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted February 21, 2011 Members Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yeah, I've been very tempted by the JS tele at the blow out pricing you mentioned. I'm not a relic fan, but since that guitar looks like they went to the trouble of actually pissing on it a few times, I wouldn't mind having it. I mean, that guitar looks like you should have your tetanus shots up to date before playing it. But seriously, that made me sort of want it, I just never got around to grabbing one on that blow out deal. I would indeed imagine they sound nice. Congrats! Here's a photo off the web. But it reminds me that I often thought the pg needed more relic'ing to fit with the rest of the look. Does it seem that way in person or is it just the way the photos come off?

Members kurtisqpublic Posted February 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 22, 2011 And yes, the pick guard could use some relicing. The whole guitar will get a bit extra on the relicing and I am thinking of having an artist friend do an antique/distressed version of my latest tattoo on the body as well.

Members fiveoclockhero Posted February 22, 2011 Members Share Posted February 22, 2011 Badass! Congrats! Awesome guitar and Joe was the king. You better do a little punk rock, too, in addition to your country twangin'. This guitar is just as good at either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted February 22, 2011 Members Share Posted February 22, 2011 Happy NGD! Btw...does anybody ever use the stickers that come with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deadbeat Son Posted February 22, 2011 Members Share Posted February 22, 2011 Happy NGD! Btw...does anybody ever use the stickers that come with it? Stickers only came with the first 1500, so most didn't have them. HNGD! I bought one of these during the GC/MF blowout, and ended up selling it almost a year later. It was a really cool guitar, I just didn't ever play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wyatt Posted February 22, 2011 Members Share Posted February 22, 2011 The relicing on those is weird, there is no real wear and tear, it's all a picture that was printed on the guitar. So, the layers...from wood...to sunburst...to primer...to black are all a single layer print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
