It is my understanding that this technique (provided at no charge!!!) is actually THE method of "relic'ing" the inside (hopefully bright orange velvet) of your guitar case!

Oh god... please don't mention ProGuitar shop!

I see SF models go for around $750 all the time if you regularly check locals ads.

Laughed my ass off! Thanks!

LMAO at this entire post! And yep the PGS guy is a douchebag alright. Not kind, not kind.

The only thing that the "relic it yourself" crowd neglects to consider are Poly finishes. They will never come out looking like a worn nitrocellulose lacquer, no matter how many years you abuse it.

yeah, I agree, never got that whole production worn thing. To me having your guitar worn by yourself and the memories of the shows it played to, far outweighs the worn in looking cool thing.

I'm a huge Clash fan and when Fender released the Joe Strummer worn in telecaster with his stickers on it, I threw up in my mouth alittle.
