I've been around HC since it was a threaded listserv, without categories. I'm meatspace friends with "This place makes me feel..." Cathy. After a while, the constant "what size strings?", "relics are stoopid", "les paul vs. strat" threads are the same every damn year, and I wander away. And once in a blue moon, I see if there's anything interesting / different. There usually isn't.

It's as much a personal choice as a paint color. If you don't like it, dont' buy it. I don't own a pink guitar, but I don't rant about 'em online, or suggest impugnations about players who do. I have a parts guitar that has a "relic" body - a very thin, well-done 2-tone sunburst over knotty pine. It was checked by the builder. I've played it pretty exclusively for 3 or 4 years, probably about 1000 hours of stage use. It's more worn than it was. None of which matters, because it's a fantastic guitar, and would probably even be fantastic if it was pink.

1978 Antigua Telecaster. mint. I got a fair price for it, and have a couple really great teles, probably all of them 'better' than that Antigua, but still.
