God, that looks terrible.

I like the white relic.

Why are we seeing the RK? Is it for sale?

I like No1.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

The reliced stuff looks lame, I'm sorry to say.
The tele is actually surf green colour I do rather like it that's why I chuck it in there :mental: but i'm really looking for a strat to replace my Suhr Antique :lol:

Now IMHO, that is the perfect example of everything lame and ridiculous about relicing. Looks like one of those ESP efforts which were oversprayed with clear. :sick:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Based purely on aesthetics? No 1, then 2... in that order. Would've gone sonic blue first if it had dark fretboard.

I'd go the tele. Not because I'm a tele fan, but the rear covered pickup option on the strat HSS format isn't asthetically to my liking. (Uncovered might be a different story)
