Rate my Relic!

I think it looks good, I love the back of the neck. What kind of neck is that?

 

That looks great. It actually looks alot like the natural wear on my 86' 62' RI.

nice work

 

Looks really good...I wonder is there a way to quickly age a rosewood board? Maybe it would just get darker--and therefore not worth the effort. I don't actually know what a naturally aged rosewood board would look like. The rest looks very natural, even the decal, very cool.

Those are the Allparts necks yours is some sort of a TR model not the TMO-V thats an all maple neck to my knowledge Allparts doesnt make a V neck with a roeswood fretboard.

The R in TR stands for rosewood the M in TMO is maple.

 

Looks good...

Would like to see the rest of it.

 

Cool well I didnt know they made a rosewood V which Ive always wanted so thanks for showing me that.

 

A quick quote from the Fender site.

 

I couldn't tell it was reliced so there ya go, fooled me. IF you didn't state it I would of just thought it was an old piece

 

The rosewood board develops little wear grooves between the frets, almost like scallops, but smaller and more located beneath each string. I have a few guitars like that, but no pics. My buddies Les Paul is really bad, until he had a refret done, at that point the luthier redressed the fret board.

 

Here's a picture I found of a little Rosewood wear:
