I found myself on youtube today watching this relic instructional. Watching some guy hacking into finish like this makes me feel a little light headed! Oooouch!
Thoughts?
I don't mind good relics like those done by Nash and Dark Horse here on the forum. I do object to relics that look like they were done by somebody who has never seen the wear on an old guitar.

I mean, just play it for 20 years and then you can have authentic marks.... |

sweet! | Thats not a northern thing, thats an idiot thing 
But that sound... knowing what it was caused my skin to crawl. And no kidding when he said it was the worst relicing job ever! I'm not a huge fan of pre-reliced gear, but if you're gonna do it do it right!

"OMG YOU"RE RUINING IT!" pfft. okay so he likes his stuff to beat up and doesn't wait 80 years to do so. Honestly buffing off the finish doesn't make it play any worse.

That didn't look like a guitar that has been "loved" for 40 years; it looked like some 17 year old took a metal file to it.

In the video, I only lasted until the file actually started scraping wood... Couldn't watch! |
