It's all cool, I'm also not a massive fan. I love doing it because it's a creative and complicated process. It's just fun basically. But I would never relic my tele or my Les Paul. Those will only age by playing them a lot. :)

I can appreciate both natural and artificial aging of guitars for different reasons. Artificially aged guitars I like because you have more control of the looks and a quicker outcome and it's almost like an art project that looks like it's a hell of a lot of fun to do. But at the same time I'm still really attached to the idea of letting something grow with you and the decay showing a passage of time. They're two totally different things, ones purely for looks and enjoyment of a style and the other is exactly the opposite, being attached to an instrument regardless of how it looks. I don't really understand why people get so mad over relicing guitars. At the end of the day it's your guitar, if it makes you love it more then that's all that matters.

Having said that though, there are a couple of things that I can appreciate here.. Using chemicals to age the chrome parts is pretty cool too! It's definitely going to be way cooler and have a personality, once you have finished. Even if I don't like relics so much, it's gonna have much more mojo than it did stock!

Thanks man! Yeah this is nitro. Honestly, I wouldn't try to age poly finished guitars. I tried that a few times and it always looked terrible. It's just the nature of poly: super robust and just doesn't want to chip. If you force it it will look super unnatural. At least that's how it went for me, let me know if it turns out better for you. :)

@KrisBarocsi
3 ай бұрын
Hey man, thanks! I did exactly what you can see in the close-ups. Once done with the rough scratches I started carefully removing the obvious signs on the edges of the aged parts. I take the a blade and very carefully scratch the edges some more until the nitro chips off. As for the sanding, I only went over the aged parts with fine grid (probably 3000 or 4000) and wet sanding of course. Hope that helps. Cheers!

Nice serie sir ! I'm doing this kind of project on two squier SE's, I'm wondering how do you get to scratch only the red and black and make the yellow appears ? In my case even if i'm using 2000 grit paper all layers are removed together and the wood appear underneath... ?? Another question, what grit do you use to smoothen the transition between wood and nitro ? after scratching the edge of the paint what grit in sequence do you use to buff it up ?? I can manage to get rid of scratch marks even with 2000.. Thanks ! And continue with the great content ! Have a nice day !

Trust me on this; WEAR MASKS,or better yet, a carbon filter respirator .From years in both the trades and the arts, have seen plenty of cases of lung damage from spraying and sanding without.How badly it might effect you is partly genetic, and largely unknown, but it is well worth the small hassle and expense.If you're gonna go cowboy, better be willing to die a cowboy death,-( maybe not fast or pretty.) Two things are really key; the hardware, which I think can look good worn even on a non reliced body,- and the final body staining, which from a visual art perspective is drawing it all together , creating a unified whole.If you do this slowly and gradually, it is both easier to control, and will appear more natural. Pink is almost always good.Peace.
