Maybe i'm one of those people who just don't "get it" but why would you buy a guitar that has shit beaten out of it already? Even SRV didn't do that. He beat the shit out of them himself.

@Djarra you mate are a massive cunt.

@POINTBLANK0106 It can give you better tuning stability for a vintage tremolo. Some people say that it is more like a hard tail as well and will give you more sustain but, I think that is just in their heads. I used .4 springs on my 2 mexi strats and only 3 on my american. The 2-point tremolo on the american strats has more tuning stability so you need less springs

having a guitar with a super aged look won't make you play or sound any better and won't give you ANY cred. Let what comes out of your amp and into your ears give you cred. You might get off on standing in front of the mirror with it but everyone else will just think you're a bit of a dick.

if you want relic guitar...just play guitar...is werry simple

what was the song?
-
I don't quite get why some people like to have exact replicas of their idols guitars. Isn't it better to create your own stile?
-
Can someone please tell me what is the purpose of having so many springs ( 0:19) ive noticed it in alot of older strats and I was curious!!

What song is this?
When I see someone with a reliced guitar, and you can spot them a mile off, I think "Oh it's a twat who can't play well and is compensating."

I did a light relic job to my 2001 Telecaster. I took it down to bare wood - very labor intensive, and primed it white, then painted it sonic blue. I used nitro for the finish and I ambered the neck. It takes a long time to get convincing results. It also takes some knowledge of guitar playing to understand wear. One thing I'm having trouble with is getting the checking in the finish since my nitro is only 1.5 years old. It's like it heals its self...... any thoughts?

think about what would cause checking in the first place...heat and cold...
Now I'm not trying to be evasive I just don't want you to do anything to ruin a good finish...
in other words don't try this at kids unless you have some experience...
there are several ways to do this ...the ez way ...
put it in the freezer and take it out into the heat of the day...or the something similar
get it?...
cheers

hey i sorta messed around a little on the back of my strat i used a pocket knife and carved some away, how do you get that shiny woodish look?

depends on what kind of finish it is...you can't get these effects with a polyurethane finish...
poly is basically plastic...only nitro will show these types of wear patterns...
cheers
