I think I’ve fallen in love with this CS Tele

I know it’s controversial but I love a proper heavy relic.

I wonder if they finished it completely, then relic'd it, or just painted half of it? 

Its a divisive one for sure!

I would get in contact with them as I can't see anyone going for it with that much relic.

I think the import tax and the VAT kills any deal.

No it isn't but we are still subject to the same rules until the end of the transition period, long may it continue

That's hideous.

Not for me, sorry.

That’s crossed the line between cool heavy relic and pointless.

Too far gone for me. It's a nice hunk of wood though, I'd strip the finish off and have a bare wood body.

I think the novelty would disappear after a couple of months. Then you’d get a horrible sinking feeling that it looks crap and cost you 4K.

Any idea how they make the exposed wood look dirty? I want to try that effect on a body.

I wish I had that much influence.

Did they use *all* the stencils on that one?



Even though I dislike 'heavy relics' usually, I actually quite like it in an odd way. It's so stupid it's almost cool.

But it's still a stupid price.
