that white reliced tele looks incredible, almost as sexy as reliced seafoam green :awesome:

What do you guys think of the pawn shop guitars Fender are doing? I quite like the mustang special and the jagarillo. Can't decide if they're just gimmicks though.

 

I liked the jaguarillo. Not sure about the others - a bit gimmicky like you say

That white Tele is stunning, but wouldn't buy one. Relic'ing is just false. :noey:

 

I don't know. I thought relic'ing was a complete gimmick when reading stuff like

 

"looks, feels, and sounds like a 50 year old instrument"

 

"increases resonance"

 

"allows the wood to breathe better"

 

fuck right off. HOWEVER.... I don't mind ones like that white tele, as that wasn't meant to look like a 50 year old guitar. And it probably doesn't cost $7000 like the heavily relic'd fenders. Which are also new guitars.

 

I had hooglebug on here build me a tele style guitar with a lightly worn finish, and I actually like the look of it a lot. It's really just had the finish dulled with some checking.

 

Anyhow, this caught my attention

Not sure about the floyd rose, but I like it otherwise.
