Authentic Fender Custom Shop relic

Don't mind me being honest, but it looks like your paintjob gone way off and the cracks are quite unsightly to me. No offences intended. Just merely how I feel when looking at it.

there will be ppl who will think its nice..

i think one of the nicest les paul relics i've seen is jimmy page's les paul.

this is his actual les paul. not some signature model or a copy

Relic is supposed to be a lil chip off here and there, exposing the wood underneath & give the guitar some character with the wear and tear condition.

I love Fender relic pieces, especially their NOS line and the new road worn series.

yes, i agree with that.

so technically that guitar aint a "relic"

but then again, its part of the overall look he has given to the guitar, i'm very sure there are ppl who will find it cool. everyone has different opinions.

imo i like les pauls classy. so i dont beat them up.

crackle

Crackle finish jobs pretty hard to do. Care to share how you did it? Good job by the WAy.

 

[neuro182]

I prefer the weathered one, so I will be able to whack it more than the classy one. I believe everyone got their "new guitar" syndrome whereby they just bought the guitar and it is in 10/10 condition so they play it nice and soft and slow and try not to tarnish the hardware and the finishing and keep them inside the case to prevent dirt and dust from settling on it.

For me, I prefer those I can just take it out and whack it and swing it and spin with it without worrying it will break down.

This one is cool, imo.

Thanks guys for the comments. Guess my work is not up to the standard of gibson, way behind it =)

Hope to improve in my job.

 

[Batlovesowl]

Oh Nero182, The crack didnt go out of control or off. I deliberately make it tt way. I add in massive crack, as for the back i finish with light + mid texture =)

Not that your work isn't good, or match gibson's standard, your crackle job isn't a relic.

 

[9000]

yeah a relic means it should look old and bashed up.
sorry but yours seems like a egg shell getting cracked =X
but its unique in a way.:mrgreen:

Your design somewhat reminds me of this,
