Is it just me....

[rushbo]

or are these relic jobs getting more and more extreme?

Here's the latest from our old friend [i][b]mihajloperss [/b][/i]over on the 'Bay...

[url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Telecaster-vintage-relicd-road-worn-Squier-Squire-/150833883147?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item231e66680b"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item231e66680b[/url]

A few months ago, he had a Tele Bass which was quite tempting (if you like that sort of thing...) -beaten up, but still recognisable as a musical instrument. These more recent things look like they've dug up from the ruins of Pompeii, set fire to and then used to prop open the doors to Hell. They make Rory Gallaghers Strat look like a box fresh 2012 model.

I mean, I like a bit of 'Mojo', but really...

I wonder if he'd ever do a Steinberger headless...?

No it's not you, these are getting more and more destroyed as he goes on. I think he is becoming desensitised to the whole process. It's the equivalent of browsing for porn the sh*t you look at gets more and more depraved as you become desensitised to the usual slap and tickle(or so I'm told by my friend who's a pervert, ahem). This particular guitar is of Japanese origin, Hiroshima to be precise.

[gary mac]

Not just you. They are becoming ever more hideous.

I want to go wash my hands after just looking at his latest creations.

[Al Heeley]

omg, this crosses the line between hand relic'ed and rescued from a house fire.

[pst62]

This is Shippers1 using another account and name. The bastard has relisted the Jim Deacon Precision I sold him as a Squier again.

[jaydentaku]

I would estimate the age of this guitar to be between 300- 350 years old.

he needs to engage the services of Mr. Philips to sort these instruments out for for him and to then market them properly

It's all about the marketing. Philips is a silver tongued fox, he'd sell sh*t to an arsehole, and he does everyday. We could all learn from him. I reckon if he put as much effort into any other business he'd be a gazillionaire.

It had 4 days to run, had 14 bids and upto £170 so I sent him this!

You've just added an Affinity neck to a body you know fine well is a Jim Deacon. I sold you the complete bass when you were using your [b]Shippers1[/b] account. The markings on the pick guard match with photo's I still have of that bass. don't try saying you've fitted it on a Squier body as I tried that plate on a few Squier's I own and it doesn't cover the control cavity route on any of them. Another thing nice try adding the bridge cover, sadly though it doesn't fit properly, you can still see the screws on the front edge of the bridge, anyone with a bit of savvy knows Squier's have the standard 5 screws along the rear edge of the bridge. pull it or re-list it with a genuine description or I'll report it![/font][/color][/size]

No mate, it's not the Tele I was referring too!
It was a Jim Deacon P-bass I sold him that he was trying to pass of as a Squier in one of his other listings ...It's definitely down

Kill it with fire!
















again...

[chrismuzz]

I bet that was a pretty cool looking Squier once upon a time

[Lozz196]

I really like it - or at least I would, if the "damage" was genuine. Not keen on fake relicing, I don`t really see the point - aside from not having to take care of a pristine new instrument and hope it doesn`t get a knock.

Nope, but it's awesome for Hamsters, Guinea pigs and Rabbits. Also if kids are sick on wooden floors or if there's a diesel spill.

[1970]

for my next relic project I'm going to turn a precision back into a tree
