[QUOTE="Harlock999, post: 148925, member: 1363"] Question is, how do the "relic" guitars actually age...I don't pick like James Hetfield, therefore I will destroy finish in different spots - if they overlap, how does the patina blend... You can find some great polishes at the music store too - I use fretboard polish on my briar, and hardware polish to keep my vulcanite shiny and happy.[/quote] Good question, and I've wondered about that myself. Fender and Gibson guitars from the 1950's aged very quickly due to the thin nitro cellulose lacquer finishes that were applied. You didn't necessarily have to play like SRV to work down through to the wood. How will these "relic" instruments look when subjected to natural playing wear? Guess we'll find out in a few years...
