Actually, I'm surprised that no one has done this sooner-a relic for under a grand? Once again Fender has some good minds in the sales department.
I am assuming that these are made in Mexico?

Hmmm

we'll see what the street price is before I say yea or nay

I like the feel and sound of the relics, but I understand why some think it silly to pay new guitar prices for a beat up guitar.

$840 for a 60's Strat per their website.

True, kind of like buying worn & torn blue jeans.

"This guitar's definitely seen some smoky bars!"

It's f'ing embarrassing already.

I don't think it's silly to pay new guitar prices for what is, after all, a new guitar. I just think it's silly to make it look old on purpose. (And, yes, I get it that some folks love the relic look. I saw a relic tele today at Guitarville in Seattle that was really cool, looked really old, and was just $2,000 or so. But it's NOT really old. I'd know that every time I picked it up.)

All of them pictured in that clip appear to have exactly the same relicing...

[John Hurtt]

The relic look is just a cosmetic treatment, if you like it cool. If not, find a color/look that you like best.

[Catoogie]

""This guitar's definitely seen some smoky bars!"

No it hasn't.

For that money you could put together a KILLER Warmoth Strat.

Like the Joe Strummer Tele....I like some relics but having seen that Tele; it's pathetic.

"comes with plenty of soul" :don't forget to cut holes in the knees of your blue jeans. Here, roll this pack of smokes in your tee shirt sleeve. Need a tattoo?

[boldaslove1977]

so it looks like each model is mass-produced with the relic-ing in the exact same spots.... just don't get the same one the other guy in your band does!
