Well it's been used tonight in a band rehearsal and makes a tele sound thin and weedy imo, it'll be getting used alot more, the mojo pickups are fantastic along with the staytrem bridge and arm

WoW! Love it. Looks fantastic. The neck flame looks great. Good job!

Aged Whiteguard based on a 59 esquire I looked at a few months ago, still needs some bits doing and I'll get better pics up soon, plays lovely, I also got given vintage 60s saddles and a 63 control plate from the esquire owner

It makes a mockery of nearly all of the big names relics I would say. Really nicely done. I would never know the difference

They make money and I don't, I hate shit ageing, I've got 2 bursts I've been doing for 6 months plus and I'm not there yet, it's not about fooling anyone it's if it looks right to me and I agree there's so much shit out there hopefully I'll get a bit more of my stuff out there over the next year, I did these to take to shows if they don't get sold

That looks really, really nice. I like the aged work I see on here, from you and the other relic dudes.

The over the top heavy relic stuff is everywhere though, and I think that influences the perception of many people about what a typical vintage guitar actually looks like. 

I particularly like that this one is based on a vintage guitar that you’ve had the chance to check and replicate the wear areas.

I get that ‘relic’ has now become a finish type in its own right - but like the Tom Murphy thread demonstrates it can be taken too far. 

On the other hand the ageing here is nice and subtle.

I don’t like maple necks that look like they’ve been played by a mechanic who never washed his hands after work!

Aged Jazzmaster big block neck build for a forum member @Vintage-T and well overdue, long way to go yet though but looks nice with a bit of lemon oil

darcym

lovely neck. 

Danielsguitars

Things are moving along now and got it strung up, it's nice to see it looking like a guitar, neck needs much more profile tweaking to get it where I want so it feels worn in

Still needs fret dressing 

Rich210

That's a stunner

darcym

that's a great overall look, the block inlays which I'm not normally a fan of work on that guitar.

Danielsguitars

Thanks but I didn't make the body and it was sprayed by Scott from sc relics, my job is the hardest bit making and ageing the neck, it'll look great with the matching headstock

Danielsguitars

Some sounds from my evo2 telepaul, still sounds like a tele but so much nicer to play for my tastes

webrthomson

Sounds awesome, nice playing too - that neck staple is pure gold

I agree, it's worked out lovely imo, so much nicer to play than a fender for me, a short scale is home for me plus I like set necks

Happy new year to everyone, 2021 has to be better, workshop makeover next then lots planned

Danielsguitars

This is where I'm going this year, it's all about mixing and matching, I'll get the workshop done first then get into building some demo guitars, let me know what you think

Kalimna

To be brief, they all look rather classy indeed (yes, even the Floyd Rose goldy mashup ). Stunning, in fact. But that 'burst P90/wrapover might just be perfect.

They all look great - the neck P90 (I'd say staple, but thats me) and bridge humbucker looks like win to me, my favourite pickup combination by a mile
