rickc 12 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I understand a custom shop trying to duplicate an exact, famous guitar for an exotic collector but all other relic-ing is fake mojo. It's like buying a hardcore trail motorbike, covering it in mud and bashing the tank with a hammer to make it look like you've ridden it hard and are bad-***. Fake mojo.

Sgt. Pepper 1,007 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I beat up my own guitars and don't need to pay someone to do it for me and charge more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rickc 12 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Sgt. Pepper - no faux mojo; the real thing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveFord 625 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I try to not beat them up in the first place. They're not cheap so I try to keep them in good condition. It would be like need some road rash on that Conti "silencer"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidblast 1,381 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 so.. what do I think ? Getting there naturally, from years of use, that is nothing to "fret" over (see what I did there??) To get that way artificially, don't really find the allure. But, it's horses for courses, if someone wants to drop some cash on a Relic'd axe, who am I to judge?

Twang Gang 429 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I never got the whole relicing thing in the first place. To me it's just silly to take a perfectly good new guitar and scratch it up etc. - it doesn't make it sound any better. Never made any sense to me especially since they charge more for them.

rct 1,715 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I thought it was really dumb. I tried a very early relic'd Telecaster. It played like a dream, but was not at all a 5 thousand dollar guitar for me. Imagine if they sold cars, or houses maybe, like guitars? Guitars are the only thing you charge expensive brand new prices PLUS a premium for making them beat up. Weird. rct Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me, I don't get relic'ing at all. But then, there's lots of stuff I don't get. Actually, mainly sushi. But that counts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
