Grangur Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 How long do you folks recon the fashion for wrecked instruments will last? Will they always sell, or will they drop in price? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Can they drop any lower than 195 quid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Actually this one makes me laugh. All that relicing and then "no fret wear". How can that look genuine? I wouldn't pay 195 for this myself. But I was thinking generally.

Thunderbird Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I really dont get the relic/roadworn I just think they look like old rubbish basses that have not been looked after I would just rather have a nice mint bass but mind you I am a bit of a stickler for looking after my gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It has not been reliced. It has been ruined... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) ..my old wooden box trailer has wood like that from being left out in the rain, snow, sleet and hail...reminds me I should get around to replacing the wood on that. Bit of a saucy/cheeky/moody/snidey ad' too, although it declares Fender, it doesn't say anything else..could it of once been a MIM'J?

Stacker Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I have seen early '90s CS models with the insignia at the bulbous end of the headstock but, obviously, this is a different kettle of fish altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
