[itsmedunc]

That reminds me that i've got to creosote my fence at the weekend.

Only thing upgraded there is the price... £279 for what looks alarmingly like an £79 Squier Affinity Strat. £200 for a new guitar that's been smashed to bits and rusted..? That doesn't bother me though, what bothers me is that people are willing to spend this much on stuff like this

[Ashborygirl]

Not familiar with Raygunrelics but that there is an example of someone who has no clue what an aged guitar looks like. Hideous.

No real-world guitar would pick up that kind of wear. Unless it had been used to dig the garden with.

Raygun relics could be a side project or pseudonym of the 'master guitar bodger' who has been responsible for previously locked threads! :/

It would seem that heavy relicing (if there is such a word) is in vogue. Some interesting customer reviews too - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-SQUIER-STRATOCASTER-MIJ-JAPAN-AGED-RELIC-CONDITION-MUST-SEE-/321234257156?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4acb0dc504

Really..?

[discreet]

I'm not averse to a good relic, but once again this is way over the top. In my view a relic should:

1) Look like proper wear consistent with playing the guitar over time, and
2) Not look like it's been dipped in a vat of dog poo then buried in the garden for a year.

That is all.
