Relic-ing - really?

[Rich]

Only if they're good for 4 hour bar gigs. And metal.

twas what i thunk, and add to that the suhr website makes no mention of doing relic finishes (but then i'm often wrong)

They refer to it as the slightly more refined Antiquing...

Just checked out the shop's website (no name, no pack drill) and the lacquer has a lot of cracking, not just one crack from clumsy handling. The description (presumably culled from Suhr's bumf) says:
[color=#AEAEAE][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The nitrocellulose lacquer finish and our proprietary antiquing process make each Classic J Antique[/size][/font][/color][sup]TM[/sup][color=#AEAEAE][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] feel like it has been loved for years.[/size][/font][/color]

So yes it is deliberate. Up to you whether you want that or want to pay for it...

I got a white Les Paul with a "Worn" finish. It looks like someone's thumb stayed at the 7th fret, playing their big hit... At least the metal is chrome -no rust .

I wish your pictures were a little better, and before pics would certainly have been cool.
