[joerockyrok]

i agree with bmanmatterdaddy to an extent but modern guitars are finished with a Polyurethane finishes which would take a hundred years of hard hard wear to make it look for example like a relic strat i.e. rory galagher artist model or john mayers relic strat

gd point tho

Well I completely and utterly agree with that whole business of the file. I cant tell you how many files I've been through. I have a filing cabinet full of DULL files. I often file through them and keep a record of them on file at my local police station. Protect and Serve and Protect, but more importantly, Serve, man!

Or you be a real musician and wear it out after 30 years of playing hard gigs. And if you say you don't have the time to do it then why play in the first place if not to have the skill stay with you for a life time?

this comment is not directed at any one in particular

I hope you guys aren't part of the repair department!LOL Lesson #1; Never drag a file back & forth to remove material. All you did was dull the file teeth. Work the file in the direction that "cuts" only! The successful "relic" jobs are done by individuals who've seen 1,000's of original guitars and Know where & to what degree the wear occurs. How many "relics" have you done to date? Did the client eventually pay you?

cheers & learn some fundamental woodworking skills. This yer legacy? OUCH!

well although i wont end up buying a reliced guitar, not everyone has the time to play a bass for 7 hours a day to get it to look how they want or the money for a authentic vintage guitar so relicing is the next best option.

there is kinda of a different look between years and years of your arm wearing the guitar paint down and filer
