I kinda like reliced guitars if done right (that one isn't). There's nothing worse than putting a ding in something perfect. Hate fake checking on poly guitars though and fretboard wear always looks fake. The rust is overdone too.
Yea too much hating. Personally myself, I cant stand really shiny new guitars. Ones like taylor 914's or a PRS custom 22. Guitars are instruments, tools and I like them to have the feeling of a worn pair of jeans. Doesnt mean I would go and do that ^ but I like worn, reliced, real antique or just plain ole used. I would hate to buy a wonderful 4k custom PRS or something and then be scared to take it out of the house.
I have a 76 Les Paul copy with one big ding on the body, and some fretboard damage, and the logo inlay was partially damaged. And the pickups were rusted out so i replaced them. Thats all that happened in 35 years. He faked all of it in all of a week... shame.
3:02 .... Did his drummer have blades on the side of his cymbals or something?? What kind of cymbals would do that much damage? None. This guy obviously can't think correctly.. He ruined a nice tele ):
I'm not one to trash a video but that guitar looks more beat the fuck up then like it's been worn naturally like a relic guitar should.. If you really wanna relic a guitar then maybe you should get an older guitar and just play it a lot so it comes naturally >.>
@boleynali Im a headbanging teenager and this is fuckin stupid... i age my guitars by a long slow process of playing them, and havent been alive long enough to witness it before my own eyes...
And I thought mine was f*cked up badly, and I got it second hand too...No but really, it needs time so that you can truly call it your own, and it can reflect who you are. Otherwise it's just a guitar that was ignorantly trashed...
My dad has been playing guitar for over thirty years and has played a Fender Tele for at least 25 of those thirty. Long story short his Tele or any of his guitars for that matter do not look thrashed or "WORN" by any means.
I seriously do not understand the worn out guitar craze or if its even a craze. I guess this is part of the instant gratification culture we live in these days.
When I was young everybody wanted a guitar that was knew and looked new. Today everybody wants an old guitar that looks used. Everyone here to barter my old used wife for a fresh girl? I have done all relicying already done to my wife. Andy
@OlafArisson you'd need to be 1.pissed (as in drunk) 2.pissed off (very annoyed) 3.stupid ( I run my finger across the hole if the lighting is not good before shoving it in ,and I don't mean anything sexual there before you start ,4.a crazy idiot who jabs and stabs and jabs without thinking,(a Psycho)

This is really disturbing to me. Fashionable guitar wear? This is awful imo. How about pre-worn skateboard decks, "relic'd" quarterpanels on cars from the dealer. Rust is really stylish I hear.
I care way less about appearance than I do about tone. The idea that this is what a 50+ year old guitar would look like is ridiculous. A 50+ year old guitar would be handled with respect and care.
Also, relic is a noun, not a verb. This is antiquing. Personally one of the worst mods possible.
wow a video on how to scratch your guitar why dont you just throw it in the ocean its much more time efficient and you can do all your guitars in one day
"Now I've spent 3700 hours painting, sanding and buffing this guitar, I'm going to show you how to make it look like a gang of monkeys abused this guitar for 20 years. Good times!"
I'm really not sure I understand all the hating here... I'm not the biggest fan of a relic but maybe that's just someones style... maybe instead of liking your fav color which is "i'm a guitar snob yellow" they like something different, like a beat up look, and want that look of an older guitar, but don't want to pay the $4,000 price tag for a 76 strat you know? if we as a guitar family could spend more time helping and less hating... who knows what might happen...
Sorry, you made it look like a piece of crap (my opinion). Unless it was well worn by a famous guitarist like Stevie Ray Vaughn it's worth has been diminished! I bought a used '77 Les Paul Standard back in '82 for $500 and was a bit disappointed that it had a blem on the front from getting bumping into something, minor belt rash, and some surface scrathes from picking, but I would never threat it carelessly to have it end up looking abused!
Isn't it odd that violins sell for £X00,000 and yet you don't see videos on relicing other stringed instruments, oh I know why, because its called 'fraud' and you can go to prison for it. :o)
yeah thats such a bull shit thing to do.. im ruining my guitar by playing the shit out of it.. actually.. na this is actually quite a good video.. it looks really cool
Here's an idea, want a guitar that looks like it's been played for thirty years?. Buy one and play it for thirty years. None of your relic techniques look authentic!
This is fuckin' insane !!!!!! Like GOLDMINER63 said Play the damn thing and write your own story for each ding and wear mark based on truth, not like this total lie of a guitar. I guess it just goes along with todays mentality and inability to write your own story.....just steal one, make one up and live a lie.....nobody wants to work for anything, just gimme gimme now now........what a joke !!!!!!!!!!
OMG, why would you do that to a new guitar. Buy a new guitar, play it for 20 years at gigs etc. Then you'll have a story to tell for each of those dings, dents and scratches that you "naturally" put on your guitar.
Relicing is truly for idiots, produced my idiots. The same people who need a reliced guitar also need tattoos to look tough and need to cheat to get ahead with most everything else in life....
@dorielementary You can thank Keith Richards for this, Fender were working with Richards on a signiture series of Guitars . Rang him up said its ready Keef . Richards saw what they had produced and said "my guitar dont look like that couldnt ya bash it up a bit !!" a new fad was born
No, mate.. yer much entitled to your own opinion, your earlier remark was just uncalled for. Rock star, no - but I do play in a house band and a jam band, and yes- as a matter of fact I am a Reverend; ordained and everything. Nothing in the rulebook about not playing music.
lol...You actually thought that was an insult when you though it up, didn't you? You can go back to guitar hero and pretend to be a rock star and the rest of us will play the real thing.
I only have minor but noticeable damage on my Strat after 3 years but that's because I'm shitty at taking care of my stuff but it's not like I literally took a screwdriver or hammer and went to town on to make it look old. If you want your guitar to look old without actually taking the time, you're just a douche! You can tell from what he said at 3:02 that he has NEVER been in a band!
Also, who would want to do this to a guitar on purpose? Using tools and such to DESTROY your guitar isn't right... Now if you drop it on stage, that's fine. But this... This is wrong..
I love aged guitars, but i dunno that I agree with this. Kinda like cheating; something a douchbag would hang on a wall to con some chick into his bed.. I love mt tele model, and all of its nicks and bangs are the real thing.
According to guitarists, modern man, with all his knowledge and technology apparently can't make a decent guitar anymore, he can make a better cell phone, computer or video game, aircraft, or anything else he tries to do, just can't make a better guitar no matter how big the market would be for a better guitar. DO you think maybe the reason is that guitar players are so stupid that they don't know what "better" actually is? BINGO!!!!
Normally I love relic guitars with a passion, but this relic job looks INSANELY cheesy. You can tell this guy doesn't know what he's doing, the fingerboard wear is the dead giveaway. Look at a Fender relic guitar's fretboard, then look at this, plus all the metal parts are too rusted, plus the tint on the neck is way too yellow, as opposed to an amber patina, plus, he used a freakin' MARKER on the bridge pickup. Come on, this is like a 99 cent store relic job
Nice job not only making a guitar look like shit, but absolutely ruining it. You'd need a tetanus shot after gigging with that 6- saddle rusted out, shit pile of a bridge... fail dude.
just beat the shit out of your guitar when you play it. That or throw it down a flight of stairs a few times, put it on a bench and fire some flatheads at the body
should have show the original guitar before all the work ! just too much done on one guitar, the process and outcome is nice but way too much done on 1 guitar. all that stuff could have gone a long way on 10 guitars :)
FYI for those who want to relic a guitar try picking it up and playing the shit out of it. A relic guitar is earned from hours of dedication and passion for the instrument.
after playing for 20 years, i can honestly say i have NEVER taken the jack and came at my jack plate with such force as to leave gouges in the body all the way down to the wood....even in my drunkest of days....
this old dude once gave me his brand new tele to play at an open mic night, as I was walking onto the stage I drove the headstock into a lighting rack... it wasn't the best moment. But now with this video I was actually doing him a favour.
For over twenty years I've played Warmoth necks with no finish.
The neck to me, is the part that I'd consider ageing if needed.
That said, I've played some Bill Nash and MVG (Miami Vintage Guitars) that are outrageously good playing guitars.
I had (and still do) reservations about relicing a guitar. If you played it enough it would get there. But you know what, that dude with the reliced guitar will give himself away as soon as he starts to play if he doesn't practice.
i have toys, as a kid, when i was 3, that were still in damn near mint condition.
you want to make your guitar look old and aged, do this. scratch the pick guard, and possibly ware some of the fretboard, that way it will look used, and not look like someone beat the shit out of it, but actually cared for it.
ohh my ppl... this is for if you want to lets say make a SRV or David Gilmour or OLD remake of the guitar. Seriously... SRV beat the shit outta his guitar which would mean you would relic that guitar.. its not that hard to figure out. David gilmour bends his his notes alot... which wouldmean wear down on the neck..jeez get real guys ppl usually just dont do this for fun they do it for a REPLICA guitar.
I would agree with most people here. You would have to be stupid to destroy a perfectly good guitar like that. Even if you weren't being carful and you played that guitar for 50 years, there is no way it would look like that.

just beat the shit out of your guitar when you play it. That or throw it down a flight of stairs a few times, put it on a bench and fire some flatheads at the body

Looks like shit. Nice ruin job. Want a relic? Either buy one or USE the guitar you have. There is nothing 'artistic' about fucking up an instrument.

should have show the original guitar before all the work ! just too much done on one guitar, the process and outcome is nice but way too much done on 1 guitar. all that stuff could have gone a long way on 10 guitars :)

FYI for those who want to relic a guitar try picking it up and playing the shit out of it. A relic guitar is earned from hours of dedication and passion for the instrument.

this old dude once gave me his brand new tele to play at an open mic night, as I was walking onto the stage I drove the headstock into a lighting rack... it wasn't the best moment. But now with this video I was actually doing him a favour.

For over twenty years I've played Warmoth necks with no finish.
The neck to me, is the part that I'd consider ageing if needed.
That said, I've played some Bill Nash and MVG (Miami Vintage Guitars) that are outrageously good playing guitars.
I had (and still do) reservations about relicing a guitar. If you played it enough it would get there. But you know what, that dude with the reliced guitar will give himself away as soon as he starts to play if he doesn't practice.

i have toys, as a kid, when i was 3, that were still in damn near mint condition.
you want to make your guitar look old and aged, do this. scratch the pick guard, and possibly ware some of the fretboard, that way it will look used, and not look like someone beat the shit out of it, but actually cared for it.

ohh my ppl... this is for if you want to lets say make a SRV or David Gilmour or OLD remake of the guitar. Seriously... SRV beat the shit outta his guitar which would mean you would relic that guitar.. its not that hard to figure out. David gilmour bends his his notes alot... which wouldmean wear down on the neck..jeez get real guys ppl usually just dont do this for fun they do it for a REPLICA guitar.

I would agree with most people here. You would have to be stupid to destroy a perfectly good guitar like that. Even if you weren't being carful and you played that guitar for 50 years, there is no way it would look like that.
