Blues don't change. Just saw you moved your topic . Over here . I know it's to cold now but wanted to comment. Don't get discouraged , sometimes people get negative on internet forms . There's a lot of self-righteousness on the internet. I've done a lot of spraying and your paint booth idea...

Thank you so much for appreciating it. It's quickly turning into my favorite . I thought I was paying for the body of course . The guy wouldn't take money , wouldn't even tell me how much. I put his together first and he loved it . Said I don't want money from you. How about you do some guitar...

It really changes in different light

Here's another pic

Telecasters is right !!! Local shop owner  got a couple of them for us through Dan earlywine .  I put them together with warmoth necks . Mine is a bubinga with black ebony . Absolutely great feel , though a little heavy . I used some motorcycle wheel weights in the body to offset it, worked...

Here's my T-type parts casters from 2021 . I'm doing a few jazz masters and still one more thinline T To do . Really enjoyed experimenting with different pickup tonality , body and neck woods . Funny thing, I did a few warmoth  stratocasters year's ago but didn't get hooked on putting these...

Omg Rick that's great ! It's hard to believe how much of that I've heard in the real world . But not just from the young , my girlfriend has some of those traits lmao she just turned 56

Logrinn , I agree the better the guitar is better chance you have it's a player . Unfortunately just being an expensive guitar doesn't make it feel broken in . I had a prs private stock Santana that I paid $10,000. It was the biggest mistake buying a guitar I ever made . I was in And walked into...

Yes I completely agree with stratamania. It gets a little silly when a relic looks 400 years old . If you've ever watched Anderson's music videos ? I'm thinking of something like Danish Pete's purple telecaster. I've never played a maple neck enough to feel like a 50's fender that's well wore...

Lol Rob please tell us how you feel , don't hold back ! I understand your point and respect you're opinion. I do disagree with it , especially the personality part lol. I'm loaded with personality, some say charming lol . I don't think if I  do a relic guitar that will change.  :cool01:

There's some great players out there that swear by the feel of well done relic. Like you I  pretty much keep them as nice as I can , but I've got the itch as my rosewood does feel nicer to play . I was searching for a warmoth guitar being reliced from new . This is the only video I could...

I looked at a Murphy lab and I have to say the aging was beautiful. Unfortunately it was right handed so playing upsidedown couldn't give me the true feel . Has anyone on here done a relic there really proud of ? I've considered this before and actually aged my all rosewood tele just a little...

barber76 really sorry your having this problem . I was leaning guitar repair years ago from a very competent luthier. More then once your problem came up . On one instrument I was going crazy trying to figure it out. Nothing I did worked , many of the things already listed , probably...

I've had satin and in a burst . It holds up fine but I'm not rough on guitars . Some say there a little softer , I didn't think so . I've sprayed satin once , it wasn't my best finish and redid it. You would think spraying satin was easier but it's not, very little room for error. I've done...

Sorry about that , things went off the rails a little bit . Glad we're all good and moving on .  :band:
