THE FINISHED PRODUCT (56k DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT) High Res pics inside

ibanezcollector · 11-29-2006, 08:52 PM

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.

Wow... great pics! You did an outstanding job on the neck and a lot of the plastic parts look authentically crudded-up!

That's crazy lol, absolute madness!!!

I like it!

Very cool

Now there is a guitar that I wouldn't even flinch at beating the hell out of.

It looks shitty... but I guess in a good way. I'm so ridiculous about my stuff looking clean and neat, os it's not my cup o' tea, exactly. Nice job, though. I've played so many Strats that looked like that over the years. The thing that always amazes me is that regardless how they look, they still almost always play and sound good anyway.

playstopause · 11-29-2006, 10:24 PM

I give it

It's really nice.

that guy · 11-29-2006, 10:37 PM

awsome dude how did you crud up the nobs and such ?

Nipples · 11-30-2006, 01:49 AM

Id shit bricks if my guitars ever ended up looking like that.

VERY nice show piece though.

so what, i contradict myself sometimes

Nik · 11-30-2006, 02:00 AM

Wow, I love the finished product, the headstock and neck is especially well-done

Now tell people SRV played it, and sell it on ebay for $20,000

Just curious, did you switch out the pups?

Wiggywiggler · 11-30-2006, 03:31 AM

looks..old

I doubt my guitars would ever wear from above the strings that much, though. I'll let you know in 50 years

Quite much work put in there, and it gives a different vibe than a brand spanking new one, I'm sure. nice work!
