Yes, it's a finish choice. Not everyone wants there home wrapped in new bricks. I remember when slightly burned bricks from the Chicago fire was all the rage. They intentionally started making charred bricks after that. It looked good. I'm like you, I can enjoy both. Nice strat collection! Good video on the history.

Thanks! That was quite interesting info. The warm sound of the first sunburst guitar reminds me of the -64 I had in the 80's and regrettebly sold. Have started to try to find a similar sound without crashing the bank. The rosewood neck seem to do a lot to the sound. Mine was a sunburst with a rosewood neck so I go that route.

so, basically it's all a question of personal taste in physical appearance, because they all pretty much sound the same, or all could be set up the same. For the most part, I buy & use guitars for comfort and sound, not looks. I want to set up my instruments so they help make my work as fluid & effortless as possible. I really don't spend time looking at how someone else tried to make them look older than they actually are

Hi, thx for your comment. Looks are a part of it. But its also feel. Al lot of player don't like the feel of a new neck. They prefer a neck with less or no lacquer on it. And some say they can hear the difference because the wood of the guitar can "breathe" when it is reliced. Another advantage is that there is never a fist scratch or ding. Cuz they are already there. Hope you liked the video!

@@neverenoughstrats so, if you don't like the feel of a new neck then just lightly sand it down. The wood of any guitar doesn't breathe, it's very dead. Those are all very silly reasons, and you don't make much sense

It’s what clients that purchase a relic tell me. You’re welcome ti think that it is silly.

@@neverenoughstrats that's my point. Clients that purchase relics do it for physical appearance. Has nothing to do with sound or playability

Its just about feel to me and appearance. Id buy a relic but not one that looks like its been beaten to hell. A mild to lighter relic is more realistic anyways. And thats only because its supposed to feel broken in. If it doesnt feel like that then just give me a new guitar.

Not the biggest fan of relicing but, I get the appeal. One issue for me is simply that, close up, the fretboards never look worn properly and the necks always seem to look like they were aged by a kid with a number two pencil. Thanks for a great video.

it's just another kind of finish.... Relic is just the branding name for weathering which is a time honored style of painting in the model and prop community used to make things look old...

De latere custom shop fenders waren veel beter gemaakt wat betreft details , voorbeeld de Hank B Marvin custom shop die ik heb is de body veels te dik en wat de contouren betreft de Mary Kaye 1987 waar ik er 2 van heb 62 rosewoods wat gezien wordt als de eerste custom shop exprerimenten idem dito , wat dat betreft zijn de fullerton strats van 1982 tot en met 1984 accurater

Dank voor je reactie! Koel heb je een Custom Shop Mary Kaye uit 1987?! Volgens mij zijn de vroege Custom Shop zeer goed gebouwd, alleen niet zo accuraat in het repliceren van de vintage specs. Als je over die periode leest, dan zie je ook hoe beperkt ze waren in hun tooling en voorbeelden. Veel van de vintage machines zijn pas in de loop van jaren weer teruggekocht. En de voorbeelden van Vintage Strats (en Teles) moesten ze vaak lenen van bevriende gitaristen.

I'll be glad when people stop making videos about the finish on guitars. Buy what you like and stop caring what other people think of your choice. Good grief.
