Especially when it's obviously fake, E.g. the "relic" bits are under two inches of gloss. But again, to each his own, whatever folks wanna play/use/dig etc. is entirely up to them so I save go for it smile.gif


As you always say man - each to his own wink.gif

Well, there's obviously a big demographic for it if big companies and small boutique companies are really capitalizing on it.

I dig an older 'style' look to a guitar that might seem a bit faded, but a really obvious relic just looks odd to me.

Fender released the Joe Strummer signature tele, and it looks terrible.

This is the Tele I think of when I think of Joe Strummer.
That Fender relic is an abomination.

I wasn't referring to what you were talking about Cosmin.
Just commenting on the Fender relic'd Joe Strummer guitar.

*I guarantee you Joe Strummer is turning over in his grave at the thought that a corporation (along with a plagiarist - Shepard Fairey) is using his name to sell beat up guitars. Unless the money is going to a charity(?).

He was a punk icon, of course he is rolling in his grave smile.gif
