I never saw the point in Relic's until I played a Fender Custom Shop Relic Strat, it was the best Strat I'd ever played!

Mixed feelings, none strong. I like relics of brands where there are genuine aged examples. When Friedman brought out relics in their first year of production, that was weird. I’ve not actuated a relic. I would probably like it. Great playing as usual.

Reliced is the only way I like fenders! They always looked like toys to me when brand new... I have a journey man relic that have a sanded neck! Love it!

I love the look of the super relic maple boards and I like the color over burst heavy relics but with just a regular color it depends on the specific example.

Much like a headless guitar, a relic guitar is not something I'd want, but other people like them, it doesn't really affect the sound, so I'll listen to other people that play well on whatever they want. I know I'm going to put dents & scratches in the guitars I own, I already have, I don't need help with that. Anything visual, especially, is up to the player, not the audience.

I wonder if Martin will ever release a Custom Shop version of Willie Nelson's 'Trigger'? Now that's a naturally Relic'ed guitar! 😂

I always relic my guitars just so slightly especially on the back of the neck, it feels more comfortable,,,,just like an old faded jeans.

To each their own. My guitars show the wear I’ve put on them. Rhett Shull argues that treating fret ends, and basic comfort work on necks and fretboards (not including fake surface wear) is relicing. I see that as different from the relicing on this guitar. This is art, and not what I want to gig.

I think nowadays it is less and less possible to naturally relic a guitar through years of playing. People usually have more than one guitar and have less time to just “relic” a single one. I am thinking of getting a clean nitro finished guitar and relic myself but worry that maybe it has no change after 10 years

It's not a perfect analogy, but I get pet rock vibes from relic guitars. I can't believe they're even a thing. I don't care if they play better. I presume they could make a guitar with the same enhanced playability without the fake wear and tear.

Pretentious. If you want a reliced guitar, play the hell out of it. Another example of taking the easy way, instead of doing the work.

The word I would use is "pointless". Would you buy a new car but insist it is given a good going over with coarse sandpaper and a wire brush before you collect it?

It's a joke as far as I'm concerned especially considering people pay extra money for it. Buy a guitar and if you play it enough, you'll have some honest wear. I've got a couple I've had a few decades and look well worn. It didn't cost me a dime and I don't feel like a poser playing them.
