Paul, I figured you'd get a kick out of this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/CUSTOM-FENDER-66-JR ... 286.c0.m14

"THIS IS THE LAST RE-LIST FOR THIS GUITAR. IT SELLS OR I KEEP IT."

Keep it, buddy!

My, JB, it do shine, don't it?

Interesting wording here..."slight relic(k)ing" (gotta post something about spelling that one...oh, I just did...anyway, it needs a "K" for past tense and infinitive form...)

"Slight relic(k)ing" to the paint", and then, "perfect condition". Good call. Otherwise, it'd be, "very good condition" and "a few paint chips and nicks".

Nice one...

And, reading the Q&A copy, he's (of course) "improved" on Forrest White's original idea of two tone circuits in one guitar, by adding a s**tload of tiny switches and two nasty splittable hummers. Not to mention the MOTS guard. He's been customizing JMs for 15 years...you'd think he would get it right--the JM IS already a "factory custom!"

It needs more switches, and maybe a couple of more knobs. The finish could also use a bit more distressing.

If he left it alone it would be sold by now...

at least JB's is better-put than most MF-style factory-new relicking ads, wherein they do it to a new guitar to get a markup:
to sic the ick on an otherwise perfectly good guitar is, in a word ..... sick

Ryan, by "JB" I meant Biscuti's initials.

No idea whose geetar that is...but we agree on the silliness of paying for relicking.

I agree silly to pay for "That" relicing...have I mentioned I like mine
