Shoe polish on the edges a clean pan scourer to take the shine off the guard and some round swirls around the controls

And so Relic it you mean ?

I had one and used it a lot- don’t expect it to be loud. It’s handy and portable and looks good - try ut

You f king perpectionist - you’ll want angel’s breath on it next

Nice and on the plus side you didn’t have to buy a weedy telecaster

@shambo Yep agree he built my bass and it’s so totally fabulous I’ve never changed it. He was fast and fair throughout so I am sorry to hear others being treated differently
