Well another relic done and in the books Shes pretty..

Just got done with another one this afternoon.. Man this baby has got some soul to it..

Since I moved to bass I havent posted a whole lot here. I sorta miss you guys hahaha

I still am chucking away at bass, and still doing the relicing thing obviously. Its actually become a small business.

But enough about what I have been up to, here is the pics.

You've done a simply awesome job on the neck, but in my opinion, the fairly consistent even-ness of the 'polka-dot' (?) wear on the body makes it look faked.

Nice!

Just curious, how much time would you say it took to do this?

Re: Wel another relic done and in the books Shes pretty..

each guitar or bass I do takes me about 40-50 hrs to get it all done..

Nothing is left to randomness its all pre planned. For example this telecaster I used a real 1968 Tele as reference, I had about 20 photos and mimiced each and every ding, wear mark, etc.

Re: Wel another relic done and in the books Shes pretty..

thanks for the kind words guys it means alot..

I hate to let this one go, but I dont play guitar anymore sooo

But it sure was fun making her into what you see today.

Thats the problem not getting them, not doing the work, its letting them go...

Nice job! How did you do it? Do you just throw it across the floor a couple of times?
