Someone @ TGP crying bout his Murphy aged.
I have a 30'ish yr old CS LP [non relic] with plenty of natural checking that looks nothing like this crap.

Yep, real aged check looks nothing like that. After 20 yrs of never cleaning my bought new 1991 Hamer USA, I finally wiped/buffed the finish and wow the checking was awesome. Like a moron I sold it. Ugh.

that would drive me crazy. I would constantly be picking at it....

Murphy sure ate a dick on that one.

 

[sondoke]

Ah, yes. The guitar version of pre-distressed jeans.

 

[japetus]

Ridiculous

 

[SpiderWars]

And it flakes right off too. And to think they charge extra, and not just a little bit, for this.

 

[SpiderWars]

And is this Gibson thinking wtf are you doing Murphy Labs or Murphy thinking Gibson wtf did you finish this guitar with and how?

Or both?

 

[GuitarGuy08]

I did my own finish checking on my beat up LP for fun. This.... This is a mistake of creation.....kill it...

 

[lespaul6]

Always go for the light aged… looks killer and not as expensive…. Looks like they are still experimenting with the thermal aging process

 

[PBGas]

relic'ing gone wild!

 

[TheGreatGreen]

That looks awful.

Gross.

 

[shar-vell Dan]

Here's a 1997 [non relic] CS 68 RI LPC with natural 27 year checking. Nowhere does the finish feel rough or cracked anywhere.
