A bridge too far?
I don't mind a bit of relicing, but isn't this just pushing things a little too far?

I think it looks awesome, possibly an idea for my next relic. I do not, however think that it is priced appropriately. Lose a decimal point, and I think it might be about right.

Re: A bridge too far?
Some of the front chips look legit, then you see the 'hit with 240 grit' look on the back...very sad. Can't you buy an actual 60's Strat for that kind of money?
She told me baby when you race today just take along my love with you, and if ya knew how much I love you baby, nothin' could go wrong with you.

Re: A bridge too far?
Subtle Relicing is fine imo, or its it capturing an old signature model of an artist. This is a bit too much though, and a crazy price too.
Personally, I'd love to be able to 'something' to any brand new guitars I buy that takes a wee bit of the sheen off, without adding a bunch of fake scratches and what not.

If I tried to explain the concept of an expensive relic'd guitar to my Mrs I think her head would explode...

Re: A bridge too far?
I like relicing, (no surprise there) to me its no different then wanting a guitar in your favorite colour, its just you only want your favorite colour on certain bits, but even to me this seems a little OTT. That said, when they come out with the Pete Townshend Monterey Strat relic (2 pieces of sunburst Alder with a hint of pickguard) you know they've gone too far.
1935 Martin D-45, 1942 Gibson Southern Jumbo,1950 Fender Broadcaster, 1954 Fender Strat, 1958 Gibson Moderne prototype, 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
1958 Fender twin, 1965 Vox AC30, 1966 Marshall JTM 45, 1977 Dumble OD Special.
Big black garbage bag full of original Klon Centaurs and TS808s.

There's a Kurt Cobain (jazzmaster? Wtf would I know) lookin thing at the RS. Has very good beaten up look. The hammer blows are actually thru the finish.

There was a Les Paul on eBay a year or so back that had been struck directly by lightning. Came through the window from a tree branch, entered the top of the case and popped out the bridge area. The case was a wreck and the gat needed a bit of work (not much considering) - but what a story!
