The relicing is tasteful on the body, but the “burn” around the frets is so odd. It looks exactly like if someone burned the board using a soldering iron on glued in frets during a refret (ask me how I know). It’s just an odd look and something you don’t actually see on old tele’s so why add it?

Otherwise, beautiful guitar and I hope you get many years of joy out of it!

Someone on here wiped his off, so it's some kinda grease sitting on top of the finish. What I haven't seen is one of these that has had the crap played out of it. My theory is that CS relics are a starting-off point and they probably do look a lot like 50-year-old guitars after a mere 10-25 years. Maybe most of the schmeer is lost in the process.

Arrived, only had fifteen minutes of play time.
I’ve never played a FCS and only played a few vintage guitars back when they just used guitars.
This is a special experience, I’m thrilled initially and look to spend a lot of time with it.
Here are a few shots in it’s new home
Shout out to Palen Music Center and special thanks to Chase and his endearing help with making this happen.
