SlapbassSteve Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Only thing upgraded there is the price... £279 for what looks alarmingly like an £79 Squier Affinity Strat. £200 for a new guitar that's been smashed to bits and rusted..? That doesn't bother me though, what bothers me is that people are willing to spend this much on stuff like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashborygirl Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Not familiar with Raygunrelics but that there is an example of someone who has no clue what an aged guitar looks like. Hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 No real-world guitar would pick up that kind of wear. Unless it had been used to dig the garden with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Rotten Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Raygun relics could be a side project or pseudonym of the 'master guitar bodger' who has been responsible for previously locked threads! :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) It would seem that heavy relicing (if there is such a word) is in vogue. Some interesting customer reviews too - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-SQUIER-STRATOCASTER-MIJ-JAPAN-AGED-RELIC-CONDITION-MUST-SEE-/321234257156?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4acb0dc504 Edited October 24, 2013 by itsmedunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm not averse to a good relic, but once again this is way over the top. In my view a relic should: 1) Look like proper wear consistent with playing the guitar over time, and 2) Not look like it's been dipped in a vat of dog poo then buried in the garden for a year. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
