Re: Relicing
Has anyone come up with relic'd amps yet? If not, I'm claiming dibs on that idea. For $200 I'd happily take a box cutter and belt sander to anyone's tolex and for $50 more I'll cover your chassis in seawater to get a nice rusty patina happening... ciggie burns and stickers from bands you may never have heard of can be added at no extra cost.

Re: Relicing
I have no problem with relicing, too each their own. My favourite looking strat is the rory sig
Relicing done bad is like anything done bad.
As people here from the start can confirm, my urine is by far the best relicing substance known to man

Re: Relicing
I do like a well worn guitar, but its more that I'm suspicious of shiny new looking ones. I figure if its an old guitar and its mint, its probably shite to play.
