I like that one, too...there's a thread going about these at the Seymour Duncan forum, and when someone brought up relic'ing your OWN instrument, someone posted "It's more authentic when you get it from them."
To which I replied "How is it any less authentic if I kick the body down a flight of stairs like they were going to anyway...?"
The scuttlebutt is the relic patterns are nearly identical (like say, if you looked at two of the example above), so what's the point...Originally posted by conmee
If anyone even thinks about deleting the Muff Thread they are banned.... no questions asked.
That is all.

"Road worn" straight from the factory?
No thanks.Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

What they do is scrape down the paint in certain areas of body contact with glass microscope slides, fine sandpaper or razor blades then polish the damage out with the big buffer wheel.
It doesn't feel bad, you'd like it. It's a broken-in comfort thing.Comment

Factory-made "cool" (or "mojo") isn't my thing.
Besides, ain't too many road stories attached to those...Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

No shit. I relic my guitars myself. On the road, with sweat and friction.It's a shame that families should be torn apart by something as simple as....wild dogsComment

The Highway 1 Strats are the same neck, body and hardware but with a water-based lacquer they don't have to buff.
That's my favorite, it's the best value in the whole lineup. I'd like to get a classic tobacco sunburst alder body, maple/maple neck, then start scraping away at the satin finish: I'd peel that shit down to the sunburst airbrushing level then spray clear nitro lacquer like Valco or Deft Water Clear lacquer and buff it out real thin.
Then I'd fuck it up even more personal with no pickguard, rear mount one volume like Pete Townshend behind the bridge, mount a Floyd, one of my Duosonic pickups in the neck position and a humbucker in the bridge.
Of all the strats I have I don't think one is a real Fender.Comment

Gibbo puts the water base lacquer on LP Studios' & Juniors. Toss 'em outside on a sub-freezing night or into a freezer for awhile. After awhile is over, toss either or in front of a raging fire or kerosene construction heater....make sure you loosen or remove the strings first. It'll spider web bigtime (the lacquer). When people ask about the cracked finish later on, just tell 'em that Ed Roman used to own it.Comment
