mdw3332 Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I started "relicing" my '91 Strat by having it drop off a wall hangar onto the corner of my desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5762strat Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 well i have been relicing my 57' reissue and I think its lookin cool. I really don't knw what I 'm doin but slowly it is taking shape. I have read the threads that have been on here about relicing, i didn't realize that it was such a disputed topic and I don't understand why someone would says such negative things about what someone else is doing to their own property. Any hoo, when I'm done I'll let them bash my project. Its my first one so I'll welcome the criticisim. I know its a 57 reissue, but don't comment on ruining a $1700 guitar as I bought it used for $200 and a 70's reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalefish Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Ok, no flame intended but I really can't understand the attraction to relic guitars.. I like my guitars pristine.. But to do with relicing, here's one I came across.. Bucket o' nails, screws, nuts, bolts or any other rusty metallic POS.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 i think a properly done relic is a fine looking instrument. funny thing is alot of the people who don't like relics will still buy an ibanez wrapped in damn duct tape...THAT imo is a travesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Sure I know how to relic a guitar, play it for about 20 or 30 yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
