rushbo Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) or are these relic jobs getting more and more extreme?

These more recent things look like they've dug up from the ruins of Pompeii, set fire to and then used to prop open the doors to Hell. They make Rory Gallaghers Strat look like a box fresh 2012 model. I mean, I like a bit of 'Mojo', but really... I wonder if he'd ever do a Steinberger headless...?

[/quote] No it's not you, these are getting more and more destroyed as he goes on. I think he is becoming desensitised to the whole process. It's the equivalent of browsing for porn the sh*t you look at gets more and more depraved as you become desensitised to the usual slap and tickle(or so I'm told by my friend who's a pervert, ahem). This particular guitar is of Japanese origin, Hiroshima to be precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydentaku Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I would estimate the age of this guitar to be between 300- 350 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philips is a silver tongued fox, he'd sell sh*t to an arsehole, and he does everyday. We could all learn from him. I reckon if he put as much effort into any other business he'd be a gazillionaire.

Lozz196 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I really like it - or at least I would, if the "damage" was genuine. Not keen on fake relicing, I don`t really see the point - aside from not having to take care of a pristine new instrument and hope it doesn`t get a knock.
