Guitar Bomb Giveaway – Win a FREE set of Oil City Pickups Deep Six humbuckers
My sinuses are always blocked, so I can't verify this.
I think it is a fantasy. And that includes all the VOS guitars. So we are talking about a lot of guitars.
Why would you want a guitar with a "patina".....?
Er.....Because the 60 year old design you just bought might just be an old guitar if you squint and daydream at the same time.....?
And I want to be clear about this. If hundreds of Historic owners on LPF have a personality defect (or are just being a bit silly)......I share that flaw. I may buy a Relic soon.
I will know for sure that things are out of control when I catch myself having virtual sex with a dead movie star....

I have genuinely battered guitars from 30 years of gigging, guitars I've set fire to, shiney new guitars, a Hello Kitty Strat, and a flying V made from a knotty old shithouse door.
They're part functional tools, and part stage props. Some of them are deadly serious instruments and some of them are a bit of fun. If a part looks inappropriately shiney for a particular guitar I'll attack with something until it isn't.
It's not the end of the world, and my almost non-existent street cred will survive whatever the hell anyone else wants to think about it.
I've never spent two grand on a Custom Shop relic, but one day I just might if I like one well enough.
A more acceptable sentence would be 'I have damaged both my guitar and bass, in order that their finishes resemble those of a Fender Custom Shop Relic'.
'Mic'd' presents a similar dilemma....
