Steve Browning Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Surely relicing has to emulate 'real wear'. How would that have ever happened over time? That's just weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The revealed wood just looks too new. With that much relic'ing the wood should be stained a much darker colour from all the sweat, nicotine and generally grubbiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I hate to be negative but I have always thought Nash’s relic work looked very unrealistic. Compared to someone like bravewood they have a lot of work to do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolo Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Looks as valid as all the other wear and tear forgery jobs, but a little more creative. "Relic" is the same as in Californication where Duchovny smashes the headlight of his Porsche. Fake sentiment. But what I think is rubbish others will like, so there's that.

Compared to someone like bravewood they have a lot of work to do. Came here to say exactly this. I've always thought Nash overdo their relics, especially on the necks. The one in this thread takes the cake though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) Didnt expect this from Nash! They are usually pretty authentic looking unlike builders like Limelight who just seem to attack things with a sander Edited June 14 by Pow_22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Is it a new instrument? Looks like someone bought a decent Nash relic and tried to take it the extra mile with their power sander. Otherwise that was a very long and boozy Friday at Nash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict the next trend will be cutting off random parts of the headstock and body, and deep "going nuts with pointy end of the hammer" gouges. Maybe even protruding, broken off or entirely missing bridge, neck pocket, tuner and pickup screws, broken tuners, demagnetized pickups, faulty wiring, and clumsily ripped out, broken and missing frets, from stock.

Gibson did that to me twice when I tried to buy a Grabber 3 70s Tribute bass... The second one had faulty wiring - buzzed and hummed all over the place. I sent them both back and gave up. Thing gave me zero vibes of the OG G-3 anyway - it was like someone had described the G-3 down the phone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson do actually sell guitars with pre-broken and glued back headstocks from stock from their custom shop, as a feature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
