My naturally reliced Tele
I joined this forum about a year ago because I had acquired a cheap tele at NAMM that I modded and refinished in white.


After a year and 1/2 of shows and travel,



And here is how it looks as of yesterday.

I would call that 'unnatural' relicing...but it has changed, without a doubt.

True, and I guess I should of included pictures of places where the natural wood shows and stuff liek that, but I mostly meant "natural relic" as in, no dings were made by me sitting in my garage with a pair of keys

You should see the strap!

Thanks for checking it out guys, I know it's not your normal tele, but this guitar is a pleasure to play and sounds very, very mean.

Both guitar and strap have some of my blood on there, the rest is stage blood, but not sure which part.

The fret markers on the Deluxe neck look great! I had a strat that was my stage and recording guitar for years, that went through much damage and 'prettying" up similar to yours. It's ahrd to stop thr process. The guitar becomes a magnet and it provides a r history for all the joy and travail.

I love that there's a vegan str8 edge sticker and a beer sticker on the same guitar. And that's about it for this thing, personally.

I had 3 nice offers and turned them all down, people want to buy weird things.

@ the beer sticker, I'm a huge fan of stickers, and even though I don't drink, that sticker was too awesome to pass up.
