CL ad, since when is this the definition of light/tasteful relic?

no offense meant if this belongs to one of you guys - I don't mind a little finish checking (very light relic) but this looks really strange to me

Wtf? Looks like he took an angle grinder to it!!! Butcher job..

 

[Tweedledee]

Compared to some, that definitely counts as a light relic job. "Tasteful" is another matter entirely.

 

[PGrant]

I'm half tempted to reply to ads like this, asking $300 off the price, since it needs refinishing, just to see what they say.

Dimarzio air norton in the neck

What's wrong with an Air Norton? I know it's more typically found in shred guitars, but it might be alright in a Les Paul.

 

[Mr F90]

Go put an air norton in a les paul and get back to me.

Trust me, I've done it.

Actually, the more I think about it...I believe you. I have one in the neck of an Ibby RG, and it's a slightly bassy for my tastes there, so it would probably be mud city in a Les Paul. Is that what you're saying?

Wow...such a beautiful instrument, otherwise. What a shame.

Let me just say that config would sound muddy even if you were using a JCM800 through a 1x8 cab.

Light relic? yes. Tasteful? I don't think so.

Too bad, it was a good looking top

 

[Eskimo_Joe]

That poor guitar

 

[73Fender]

Kind of sad I guess, I wonder what the back and sides look like?

 

[Maven]

Fail

 

[slider]

Decent price though, right?

 

[FloridaSam]

I'd hit it for $1000.00.

 

[buddyboy69]

One would have to be a monster strummer to get that effect. Why do people do this, leave it for the pros.

 

[ekkybedmond]

Leaving it in the road like that, is def gonna 'relic' it a bit (although tasteful...)

 

[AprioriMark]

Put the angle grinder down!

I'd buy it for 800 just to refinish it.
