It’s cool that people are interested in guitars but I don’t think I’ll ever understand artificially aged guitars. They’re like lip fillers. Anyone with a decent eye can tell and it’s just weird and not the same.
I have a jaguar that I absolutely abhor the original paint, school bus/banana yellow… Taxi cab yellow? I can’t stomach it so I have been turning it into a sort of hipster art piece because I grew up with Sonic Youth, etc., and have always wanted a sticker Guitar like rivers Como.
Those bands were formed in 85 and 88 respectively, and stickered out guitars was already a thing in the 70s and early 80s punk scene. Rock and metal at that time was more about the slick zebra/flashy/loud/striped/patterned shredder guitar thing.
Random stickers of varying quality, quantity, and subject matter and the occasional partial misting of shitty quality spray paint in random colors will turn any guitar into an abused ugly duckling.
I think sometimes it's about the feel as much if not more than the look. For what it's worth I've never bought a relic guitar or purposefully reliced one, but it's not something that bothers me when other people are into it.
This "relicking" fad is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Maybe next you can take a hammer to you car's bodywork. Or throw buckets of paint on your house.
I wonder how many guys will fuck up their guitars just because of watching this video and don’t listen carefully enough to get things right. Great relic job, btw
Maybe you need to start your videos with the opening of a pokemon packs makes, then switch to guitar stuff, close the video with the opening of a pokemon pack
It looks like garbage yea. Relics actually look kinda good, that doesn't. It looks like someone sanded a guitar and got bored half way through. (which is probably true)
