So now you're actually questioning Fenders master builders? Now Ive heard it all... :lol:
 
You think that's a rip? What about the Frankenstein.


Saying that, Gibson can bend over for all I care. I played one of their high-end SG's recently and almost slit my fucking fingers up on their fretwork :lol:

A mate of mine actually owns a Fender custom-shop relic guitar and it sounds and plays gorgeous. I don't care if you guys say "I'd rather buy a guitar myself and relic it myself" it just wouldn't turn out the same. They use different finishes (Nitrocellulose anyone?). Not to mention it certainnly wouldn't play the same.

I have another mate (yeah unbelieveable) that owns a custom shop un-relic'd Fender Strat that plays awsome. Admitadly I'd be bias on that because he stuck 6100 frets on it :D



So Gibson? Les Paul Standard £1400?
Fender American Standard Strat £600?


I know where my money is going...

One problem.

What if they did not wear the neck edges the way you would have? Of course you wearing down a guitar is not going to be the same.

After hearing the ass tones coming from their demos in the fender booth at NAMM yes I am :o

Pffff you guys thought the Marshall demo was some kind of second comming. Like I can trust your ears. :scared: :lol:
 
I have some older guitars that are beat a little. Difference between them and one of these is that the wear was from actually being gigged and played. My Brad Gillis strat has a cracked pickguard - Brad was playing it and smacked the bar into the pickguard according to his tech (the guy I bought the guitar from). I'm leaving it alone, it gives it character and was from being played. I have an Ibanez 560 with tons of wear on the back of the neck and body - I may not be able to remember where each happened, but it was from being gigged and was honest wear.

Spraying compressed air upside down on a nitro finish to force crack it and artificially aging a guitar is bullshit.

A 'relic master built guitar' compared to a real vintge guitar with actual play generated wear is like a transvestite compared to a real woman.

I've owned a couple Fender Custom Shop guitars, a closet classic lightly reliced Strat and a pro classic Tele.

The strat was reliced such that the finish was checked and the neck was smoothed out. Almost just a perfect player. Really a great playing and sounding guitar.

The tele is a completely different animal, it's practically perfect in condition, is also a great player and has that tele tone in it.

Both great guitars, worth the $1500 or so they cost used? To the right person, for sure.

If the guitar keeps going up in value, that's another thing though.

Who would've known that the '71 Les Paul gold top I had when I was 16 would be worth something today....I sold it for around $600 :doh:
 
I like it. Fenders are the sexiest, best feeling and sounding guitars for me by far....and Nothing looks better to me than a beat up tele. Now having said that, I'd never pay that much. There's obviously a market for them, though.
