  • I find it LAME when other players are so concerned with what other guitarists are playing. Play your instrument and don't worry what someone else is playing. Some people like old looking guitars but don't have the money to buy vintage instruments. Second of all, new instruments finished in poly are almost bullet proof. You'd have to play that thing until you are dead before it would look even close to a well taken care of nitro strat. The relic haters act like they stopped making shiny strats..

  • The job of my dreams :'(

  • Awesome,The color of wood and the size of the headstock is really beautiful,with little more dirty the pickguard will give a pretty vintage visual.

  • You have to hand it to the Yanks they are brilliant at innovation and systematic research to recreate vintage sounds even if Strats are not my favourite guitar. I have a 65 relic from the custom shop however because they are just too damn good not to have one...and you can't get the Knopfler or Gilmour sound on a Les Paul not to mention a sappy funk sound or the spank for an aggressive SRV type blues.

  • im sorry. but that guitar uve got there, sounds like total crap.

  • Are you good at recognising fender strat guitars

  • @Hugh9 +1

  • @Hellad00d I understand it's cool to have a guitar that looks like a relic, but the price I don't get...and it's not a real relic, so for me that looses it's real coolness because it's a fake old guitar....do they use older vintage electronics too..

  • @stevoe1000 Because not only does it look like a vintage guitar, it PLAYS like one. The relic process was created to give you the same feel of a vintage guitar.

  • Circular consumerism: Change a few details and present the guitar as if it's substantially new. Next year they'll tell you there's something better implying this one sucks. Buy a Strat and keep it for life.
