Why don't you just by some of those brand new jeans that already have the holes in the knees while you're at it.

I like jeans with holes....and I like this guy's work:

Nice relic work. Screw the relic haters here. They're just being pissy to over-compensate for having a small......guitar collection.

relics are nice for those of us who want a worn-in, 50 year old vibe, without paying the huge buck for the real deal.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with jeans that have holes in the knees (not my style but whatever), I said those brand new jeans that come with holes already in the knees. They were big in the 80's.

Sorry, I just think relic'd guitars are lame, very cheesy. Play the guitar and it will become relic'd, ain't that hard to do. Just seems FAKE and I'm not into fake. Sorry.

That's why the original poster is building a relic Tele, not you, if you don't have the info he needed why did you post? I'm sure he would love to have a REAL '52 Tele but maybe he doesn't have the 20 grand laying around?

The OP wasn't taking a poll of who liked reliced guitars. There's plenty of other threads where relic-bashers can unite in anit-relic glory. Feel free to post your thoughts and opinions there. I don't like the sound of a Klon.....but I don't piss and moan in every thread about how I think it's a lame pedal. I can spend my time in a more constructive manner....but helping people and talking about gear....not putting someone down for liking something you don't. If you don't dig what someone wants...no need to be a hater.....it "ain't that hard to do"

I've never seen Nick's guitars in person ( although they look great online ) but I CAN say - his pickups are KILLER !!

you can't type the word "relic" without the hater-trolls swarming like flies. i personally tend to agree with them, but jeez, give it a rest already.
