Just curious as to personal preference -

How do you feel about guitars that have been artificially aged?

Would you want a "vintage" style instrument to be "NOS" (new, old stock, as if it had been put through a time machine from when it was made), "Closet Classic", as if it had been played a bit, years ago, then stored away, or "Heavy Relic" as if it has been played to hell and back?

I think they all have their own appeal, and just wanted to hear what others think...
