Dave Vader Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 That's a shame, that green finish is nice, if only he hadn't taken all those chunks out of it..... Quote

I'm looking forward to the Free Range, Corn-Fed Telecaster... [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1367840742' post='2070036'] It's a funny old thing is fashion. When i bought my 1974 Jazz over 20 years ago i got a few quid off in the shop where i bought it when i pointed out that it had a few dings and buckle rash. Nowadays the shop would be highlighting those dings and buckle rash as a badge of honour to promote the sale of 'this roadworn beauty'. [/quote] You'll be reassured to know that the shop that sold me my Schecter just last year gave me a hard case, a new set of strings and a nice strap all for free...because of one little scratch along the top of the bass-side horn.

Wouldn't "defurbished" be more accurate? Quote
Grangur Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I see the new one is "FOR STAGE OR PHOTOSHOOT"... no go for actually playing music this time then? Must have taken the "Ray-gun" too close to the cables Quote

My half-arsed finishes are all coming off beautifully, although ironically, I may need to refinish them again before they become unusable. Quote

Themrperson Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I'm the only person that actually likes these sort of road-worn, nearly falling apart finishes? If they sounds and plays fine then I'm all over it. Or I'm just the minority again.... Quote
