So why did you buy a Gretsch in the first place? I understand people are into relicing and modding but this seems too much.

This one looks like bad relicing I've seen on guitar.

(that dude also had one of those custom shop strats with the heavy relicing and at least $2500 worth of amp onstage with him, using it to play anemic, bloodless covers of “Jumpin Jack Flash”)

I think intentional relicing is dumb, but I guess I can sort of understand the desire to make your guitar look like it has a history of being played*. But what the hell history is being conveyed here? What’s supposed to have happened to this thing?

A fender Jazzmaster that has been attacked with sandpaper to make it look like it’s been through some shit

My sister and I are having a blast. We dialed in our engraving and are working on relicing. The goal is to create maps that look like Sir Quidby took them on an expedition.

Everyone is getting guitars with relic finishes and nobody’s talking about the potential of relicing amplifiers. Just pushed by blackface princeton down the stairs

... No facilities for the refin; no skills for the relicing; a very long track record of incomplete projects; the blower switch is probably not as useful as rhythm circuit.

Nonetheless, I do really fancy an old black.

I prefer my jeans not ripped, but at least washed enough to not be stiff. Sort of feel the same way about guitars. I definitely prefer nitrocellulose or satin finishes to poly, which just feels stiff. But bad relicing is bad relicing and it doesn’t look good.

This is totally subjective, but I don’t understand why you’d do this at all. All the inconvenience of a Firebird for the sound of a telecaster, and you deliberately don’t have the sleekness that’s half of the Firebird aesthetic. You have a hunk of an old dock with pickups in it.
