Tinman Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 That's just obscene If an instrument gets worn through use, then fair enough but to do that is just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Next time someone need a definition of the word dickhead, they should be referred to this video. It sounds like the customer wanted a jaco bass so they offered to relic a mex std, not having the slightest idea how to do it or the differences between lacquer and poly finishes.

The Funk Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Which shop is this? I need to know so that I never go there or order anything from them. Any ideas on how to narrow it down? 1. It's somewhere in the south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 F*ck's sake. Why not just chuck the bloody thing in the road & let a bus go over it, & be done with it? F*ckwits. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPQ Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 It would be really interesting to find out which shop this is - the level in incompetence and lack of any sort of common sense means I'd really like to avoid ever buying something from them.

thumbo Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 From a little bit of research, I can confirm that this is Eric Lindsey Music Shop in Catford, London. Visit [url="http://www.elmusic.co.uk/"]http://www.elmusic.co.uk/[/url] and remember, don't go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Bassy Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I can see little point in Relicing a guitar at all, but people do do it, even the Fender custom shop. So if other people want to do it, with files, sandpaper, whatever, then it really doesn't bother me. If the customer said he wanted it relicing then surely the shop doing for him is just good customer service? Clive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly offered a service that they had no idea how to do, which is very wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a 70 page tutorial on how to do it. [url="http://www.ibanezpodxt.com/RelicTutorial.pdf"]http://www.ibanezpodxt.com/RelicTutorial.pdf[/url] The key seems to be to take it all to bits and do them individually (don't loose any of them now, unless that's part of the look), and also remember you're aiming to make it look like it's been held and loved for many years, not like it's been abused for the same length of time. D. * ok, not many, but there are some. Edited September 22, 2007 by Alpha-Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
