A beauty, huh?

Looks like it was caught in a belt sander, set on fire and plunged into a tub of dirty water to cool down . . .

"YES IT'S A REAL FENDER" He says. Right before he tells me that he custom made it in his shop? "Every @#@%#@%!# Fender Guitar built since Leo Sold the place , ARE ALL PARTCASTERS." The logic here, I can only assume, is that the guitar is , in fact, made of parts. (I especially like the old style MIM toploading bridge part.) But I must say that my favorite part is that after he's done cussing me out, he blesses me and mine. Nice touch.

[jdogric12]

Awesome! Bolded my favorite parts...

Oh and someone bid on it!!! $500, and it didn't hit reserve!!! LOL!!!

For sale today is a Blue Frog Relic Nitro Finish Telecaster and before we get into all this YES ITS A FENDER but unlike anything FMIC does. I am a Custom Guitar Builder and have sold Countless Guitars over the years but I FINALLY HAVE GOTTEN FED UP WITH YOU SERIAL NUMBER PEOPLE!!!!!!! So now that we have that out of the way we can get down to business.

[Hotzenplotz]

Does not look a second like a used guitar...

[ozover50]

I'll take two, please! If I ever have grandchildren I want to make sure I have the money to get them through college.

Another socially-inept, attitude-laden, opinionated, grumpy, hermit-like router jockey. Reminds me of that character who rips on 480s...whatshisname...

"You need me more than I need you", gets old real fast.

It looks Rusty.

@Paul:

In another thread (the COY 360V64) you were looking for a slobber icon.

Aaargh!


Found it!

Thats not on the icon list!

[Hotzenplotz]

Well, normally I avoid using icons. But in this case...


Some people like this re... thing (no, I do not write the not existing word!), some not. That is o.k. for me.


But the work fits to the text below the article.

I’m sorry, but I honestly just don’t get this entire “relic-ing” concept, never mind the hideous example above, which looks to me like it spent a few too many days in the dumpster behind the café instead of being played/enjoyed inside.

If I go and spend money on an instrument that comes with a pedigree (“used by **** ****** onstage for ten years”) and it comes with some patina or wear, that’s one thing. It even adds to the mystique of the axe, but to spend extra on a new guitar fresh from the factory that has already been “aged” reminds me too much of those fake antiques back in the 60’s where unscrupulous dealers would literally take bicycle chains to perfectly good furniture in order to charge more for it. If someone handed me the 335 used by Roy Clark for twenty-five years, a 6120 Gretsch used by Brian Setzer, or one of McGuinn’s 360/70’s, I’d treasure every nick and scratch, but what’s so special about buying a guitar that’s already been beat up before playing a single chord??

Okay- those who are fans of relic’ing can weigh in and educate me, now……

In my opinion there is just one way to an authentic aged guitar, looking had a hard day's life: play it, play it, play it!
