Looks Like A New Kid On The "Custom Relic" Block

csapo · June 27th, 2006, 08:47 PM

This is the second listing from this seller. The first one went in under 12 hours. The 2 available Relics listed on the retailers website are sold.

I know some may not look upon the modern relics favorably, but these look pretty tasty!!

Maybe it's just me.. or the pictures... but..

The body looks too thick... (I think this is the picture)
The back of the neck looks like a good time was had with a belt sander...
The Tadeo taper doesn't look right to me..

It's not bad work.. it's better than I could do...

Then again.. what do I know...

Moonshine, I was going to say the same thing. And actually, I think I could do a job at least that good. That neck looks pretty awful, and there's nothing about the guitar that makes it look old. It looks like a brand new axe that was beat up.

But they are pretty cheap compared to most relics, so if they play well and sound good they're still not a bad deal

The body isn't too bad but that neck looks terrible IMO.

I agree about that neck. The body looks pretty decent. At least the guy is adamant about it not being a real Fender and he doesn't put a fake decal on the headstock.

You know, I've never seen a vintage neck that was work in that manner. Guy needs some real pics of oldies to work from.

Neck looks great...if the player wore sandpaper gloves.

I think the body skewing is just the size of the pics in the listing...his horizontal and vertical settings are off.

Kinda like Bill Nash guitars.
