My "reliced" Harley Benton ST-20

What went wrong Dad ? Ya know, me from another continent, humor wise can be challenging to get it

Here is the sound check; it sounds OK-ish through the Plexi Tone on my Digitech RP70. I will get some better vintage pup in the future maybe Entwistle or else ...

Apologies; I'd overlooked that. Just 'pulling your leg', 'joshing', 'ragging you'; that's to say: light teasing, meant to be humorous. Yes, the guitar looks fine. Maybe I'm just jealous..?

Its all good Dad no need for apologies Ok I m familiar with 'pulling your leg' but 'ragging you' and 'joshing' is new to me Im learning new words here on Bass Chat thanks to you

I like it Love natural wood finish guitars, I don't know why more companies don't offer it as a standard finish over painted.

I agree, the bass makers sure go much more into plain oiled wooden bodies which looks awesome. Guitar makes just love that darn lacker and paint don't they
I was thinking to make a few relic bodies like this and also relic the hardware and then sell it on ebay as a DIY Kit. Will see when I have time for this though ...
