Thanks!

Those look nice. Quite a bit more authentic wear marks than Fender's "Roadworn" series.

Nice job, they look really ...."vintage".

You should take better care of your stuff. Those are getting all scratched up. :D

They look good!

Why no full guitar pics? Why no headstock pics? Hmmmm?

Aww, man, I really like them! Nothing like a beat-to-heck Stratocaster...I need a two tone burst w/maple and a white one w/rosewood, pronto!!!

(I wish!) :D

thanks for the comments :)

i could show the headstocks i guess, i dont do anything with logos, thats upto the customer, so they are left like the one below....

I've always wondered--do the tuners have that tarnished/rusted feel to them?

It always rips up my fingers when I play an old axe and don't wash between tuning and playing, or if I'm testing an old guitar with rusted strings. Ouchies.

Dude, they look fantastic. Kudos to you for not bothering with a headstock decal. It doesn't need to say "Fender" on there for it to be a fine instrument.

The fiesta red one is sublime

Those look AWESOME!! I build a replica myself and I couldn't get to damaging the perfect paint job :Embarrass so I left it and made a closet classic! I do like the relic job on Yours especally the white one. :appl:

To bad this 'Relic' thing dosen't apply to cars... I got driveway full of beauties...

It's all banged up, but I really like this color.
