Chappers got a belt sander

I fucking hate shit relics, if they're done properly they take months with nitro, I've had some sat for 9 months but the checking is lovely, they just look old, nitro takes a while to shrink into the checking, it's also very subtle

Surely they can do better than that? I don't get it.

There are mugs that'll buy 'em, so why not?

Good to see old Chappers broadening out from his usual Dungeons and Dragons playing 14-year old male customer base.

What’s wrong with Dungeons and Dragons as a hobbie?

What the hell were the marketing team thinking with that photo? It's disastrous and hilarious.

Behold! You are Lug, son of Kermit and I claim my £5!

That is without a doubt the worst relicing I think I've ever seen - and I actually quite like the Chapman guitar designs. What sort of wear is that emulating? Look at the weird completely untouched lines in between the bottom and sides. It's like it was put on a guitar stand made of razor blades.

And the ever-authentic "Used this guitar as a makeshift shovel" wear on the back:

“Battleworn”...if trying to shred in your bedroom between wanks is a battle then yeah ok.

Τo be fair that is a battle I've been fighting, single-handed, for many a year.

Further evidence,(were it needed) to support my suggestion that we need a combined LOL/WIS option as we can’t select both !

they've been dragged along the floor in the carpark to get that effect, seriously look at the wear on the bottom

Mmm bit ropey. Looks like a Shecter

Relicing the classics, older style guitars which have been around for years, not my thang but fair enough. Relicing modern shredders....... now that’s just daft

Oh god, no! It seems really bad to me. 

It looks a little like they've been flintknapping it to make a stone age arrowhead

Thanks to all this "Battleworn" nonsense I've got songs from a Killers album stuck in my head now.

I've never really understood relicing though.

These chipped chappers aren’t cheap
