Ok here it is, shes done... My first relic job I ever did, I learned a heapful on this project and I am going to do another one with LESS WEAR lol..

Hope ya guys like the pics. I tried my best to capture the subtle details lost in my previous pictures. You will see wear on everything but the frets. Nothing went unturned.

Some subtle details I researched and tryed to mimic:
Knobs, Switch tip, and Pickup Covers, not just cream or mint but really worn
Bridge actually has dirt and grime in spots it would normally be
Rust marks around the screws and switch on pickguard
Knobs slightly worn over
Pickguard worn more around the strings then under them
Neck worn but is 100% smooth and unaltered from its original feel
etc etc..

Thanks for any comments or critisism, I have around $90 invested in this project and its by far the coolest thing I have done. Was alot of fun, and gets great responses from everyone when I take it out. Fooled about 9 people who thought it was the "Blackie" strat when I took it to GC to show the salesman who were interested in the project.
