Funny enough I did that to a bass way before I had heard of Type O-Negative. It was so uncomfortable to play for long.

I've actually never understood all the hate for relic'd guitars. Everybody loves to get up in arms about how that player didn't EARN THEM THAR SCRATCHES like it's some kind of dick waving contest about who has been playing a single instrument the longest, but to me... some things just look better beaten to poo poo. Your average Fender Strat or Telecaster looks pretty glorious with half the paint violently beaten away from it. So yeah I totally understand why some companies relic their guitars. Because some guitars look better with a relic treatment than not. Simple.

Yeah, I love the look of a relic'd (or actual vintage) guitar, but I'm never gonna spend the $3k it takes to buy one from the Custom Shop. If they started putting out Squier or MIM relics, I'd get one in a heartbeat, but it takes a surprising amount of skill and a lot of attention to detail to get it right. You can find tons of amateur relic jobs online and they mostly look bad bad instead of good bad.

In that sense, it doesn't matter how long the guitar has actually been around. It's just a look. Doesn't matter if the company has only been around for a week, if the guitar looks better beaten up, then make it look beaten up. Wark Say posted:I have no problems with relic'ing either. It's the prices that often leave me confused. Definitely this though. Relic guitars always seem to be marked up way higher than reasonable.

 Gonna pick up the tan/beige-looking one tomorrow, it's a super early one. Now I just need to hunt down a reasonably-priced (lol) Charvel Model 2/G&L Rampage to put it in. EMG 81, when you have to chainsaw accept no substitutions. edit: please recommend other single-pickup 80s strat-likes that are reasonably-priced/cheap. The more 80s the better. Thanks.

Death Panel Czar posted:Ola Strandberg once asked if anyone was going to relic one of his guitars, and I betcha he's disappointed that nobody took him up on it. Mmm yes, the elusive vintage headless multiscale 8 string. For real though, I think a natural finish strandberg all relic'ed up could look neat, but probably closer to Rick Toone's stuff. His guitars (Toone) look absurd, but I still want one

I'll continue to be that guy: Relic'ing a guitar is straight poser poo poo. The people who do this want their instrument to look like it's been through a lifetime of use and has made a lot of music. They crave the credibility that such an instrument implies for them or whomever "owned it before." It's stupid-rear end poser wanna-be loser poo poo and it always will be. It's not like buying "pre-distressed" furniture to fit your home decor, because home furniture buyers don't want a new end table to stick out against their Grandma's living room set. It's the stupidest way to spend money on an instrument just to make it look like you've either done something real with the guitar or you bought it from someone else who did. In both cases, it's a fake history and it is 100% an attempt to give the guitar a backstory it simply does not have. If an owner of one of these guitars just says, "Yeah I had it relic'ed because I think it looks good" then ok, fine; you're just bad at making decisions. Most of the time they want to give the impression the instrument spent years doing stuff when actually it spent hours being flagellated by a builder, having the metal corroded with acid fumes, and having the plastics aged with UV light or whatever they do. It's extremely stupid music poo poo. Faustus be mad about relicing, I'll own it.

Caring about what is and is not poser poo poo is poser poo poo. Namaste. Also the classic sunburst finish we all know and love was originally conceived as a way to mimic the aged French polish finish on worn classical instruments, so the concept is almost as old as the modern guitar itself.

I agree with you, Fauster. I get that Relic'ing is just like "worn" jeans, it's just a finish mimicking what something might look like naturally if you use it a lot. I really do. And I want to respect that some people are just a lot more vain than me. But it's not easy. All my guitars (and jeans) look like they've been dragged behind a speeding car, because I use them all the time and they're just....things. I can buy new clothes. Instruments can take a beating, and if it gets too bad they can be fixed or have parts replaced. The irony is people buying guitars (or ripped/worn designer clothes) and paying way more for something that looks like they have treated carelessly, but that costs so much they treat it like it was made of thin glass.

Empty dickswinging legal threats that will be followed by literally nothing of substance, I thought they ousted the Trump lover Also I will 100% tell you “whoa man, that looks cool” to your face if you show me your reliced guitar and then I will roll my eyes and think of you as a non-playing blues lawyer type the second your back is turned. I have never yet heard a person play a reliced guitar who was any good at all that wasn’t being paid to promote said instrument.
