    As a professional guitar player, totally agree with the idea of artificially relicing a guitar, especially if it feels good. And a lot of times, if it's well done, omg it feels amazing. No need to spend a lifetime relicing it. Cheers.

    I see two arguments for relicing. The first is that I don’t see it as being fake but as another paint job/design. I mean certain designs inspire certain types of music and besides that if you want the look to be a certain way and not random then a relic is good for that. The reoccurring argument of “Just let it develop the relic over time,” meanwhile drives me crazy. I am not promised tomorrow. Everything can happen from me being murdered to a random heart attack. If I get to live to a ripe old age to see a well done relic then that’s great, but do not call people impatient for wanting the look now when they can have it versus a nebulous future which is uncertain.

    • @squiddysquidster802
      @squiddysquidster802 6 месяцев назад

      Also the fact that modern guitars have thicker finishes on them compared to 60 years ago, which makes the finish wearing down take a lot longer.

    It’s true that shitty low end relic jobs are basically the worst thing you can do to a guitar, but when you see the kind of detail masters like Tom Murphy or Vincent Van Trigt manage to replicate it not only looks incredible but is also awe inspiring

    If someone is buying a poly painted guitar saying they want it to wear naturally, it will never look “aged” like you see many vintage guitars. So the whole “I want my guitar to age naturally” thing honestly just doesn’t apply to 99% of new guitars that aren’t nitrocellulose

    • @sixstringtv1
      @sixstringtv1  Год назад +2

      It won't get the "relic" effect but it gets scratches and shit

    • @Zacharyr222
      @Zacharyr222 Год назад

      @@sixstringtv1 Yeah, I’d attribute it more to a car having a scratch than what happens with the old guitars like the checking and all. Either way I agree that relic’d is a fad and if someone wants their guitar to age like a vintage guitar than they should just have it stripped and repainted with nitrocellulose and let it age naturally
