DiZzy-T Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 At "Worn" Guitars you just have to play ... my SG Faded Worn looks really cool after playing it for 10 Mouths. REALLY Aged :D It looks like beeing 5 or more Years old ;) On "Solid" Finish's you have to ask someone else, sorry that I couldn't help you with that. I want to know this too.

DiZzy-T Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 In my opinion no ... If you really want a real Vintage Guitar, you have to live with things like that, because of the Vintage So, you have the Faded Worn Cherry Color too? Or that "Solid" Finish?

dvir Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 ohh and what is the difference beetween the sg special and the sg sandard is it just the binding?
Andre S Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 ohh and what is the difference beetween the sg special and the sg sandard is it just the binding? Yea.
DiZzy-T Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 SG's dind't have a Binding. The Standard has a Pearl of Mother (I think) Gibson Logo, an SG on the Truss Rod Cover, this kind of cool Headstock Inlay, Crown Fret-Inlays, a clear code over the laque, other Knobs and a 498T as Bridge PU insteed of a 490T.

Jantha Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Send it to me... I'll send it back in 20 years with vintageness!
Blackie Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 ...........OK first what you wanna do is..............throw the guitar outside in the dirt................throw it so it hits face down or you will snap the neck off. ...........Then leave it out there about a year or so...........
BenL Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 well, from what i hear, lemon oil (like fretboard lemon oil) is corrosive to your guitars finish...Maybe im wrong? and it may just give you a "worn" look as much as it would an "im an idiot and don't really know what lemon oil is supposed to be used for" look...id try it on a wal-mart guitar first, or you can TRY sandpaper. also, if you can find a luthier, im sure that he/she could "relic" it for you, but it seems like thats more of a fender thing, ya know?
Andre S Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 also' date=' if you can find a luthier, im sure that he/she could "relic" it for you, but it seems like thats more of a fender thing, ya know?[/quote'] Worked for ex Gibson's Tom Murphy...
pippy Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks for that, Neo! Really made me laugh! Tom Murphy settled for a blade from a 'Stanley' type knife and many, many hours of research and effort - but your suggestions would work quicker!
Andre S Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 See if any of these give you an idea; [lol][lol][lol][lol][lol][lol]
