Title: Ooops...
Post by: shobet on December 13, 2010, 05:38:56 PM
All that talk about relics in one of the other threads had me chomping at the bit. So being the idiot that I am, I started looking at websites...

And then look what happened.

She's one of the limited 62 Strats with the Brazilian rosewood fretboard. Oh well...

I wondered if this thread was on the way after a cryptic comment by Matt elsewhere....  :)

Looks great, although CAR isn't my favourite colour (matching headstock would be good!)

What do they call that level of beating up?  Obviously not Heavy Relic, and presumably not Closet Classic.... is it just "Relic"?

The certificate says it's just a relic.

I couldn't resist getting her older sister and distant cousin out to say hello.

Oh have mercy, that is just lovely.  For me '62 is the nicest year for rosewood boarded Strats.  Congratulations, that's a well-rounded Strat family you have there. :)

Too many new guitars appearing. I'm feeling down now!

You've got twins on the way, that's gotta be even better hasn't it?  :D


(Albeit much harder work....)



Must admit though, I always have a certain level of Relic GAS - just like background noise - but it's really building up this week!

Lovely guitar. I'm not really into CAR, but with some dings and dongs this guitar has character.

Very Nice...

If it wasn't for Seafoam Green, Candy Apple Red would rule the world.  :P

Very nice,

Congratulations.

Nice lookin geetar, congratulations :D

Although CAR is not one of my favourite finishes (I don't imagine buying any sparkly finished guitar at the moment), from that group shot, the new girl is the one I'd pick out and ask to try. They're all cute but, for me, that's the righteous looking one.

I'm afraid I must retract my "Nice lookin geetar, congratulations :D" comment already Shobet...

I've just seen the strat hiding in Nolly's Blackmachine thread...

Your's is obviously just some cheap knock-off that someone sprayed some christmas glitter over... you been ripped old chap, suggest you drop a line to Watchdog asap ...

:lol: :wink:

Oooooh, nice :D

Since I lent you that reverb pedal, don't suppose you'd mind lending it me for a few weeks do you Hugh?

I would like that.

Very nice looking, though CAR isn't my favourite finish (I'm a burgundy mist fan).  I'm sure it will play just as well though!

Tom as you got my name wrong, no you can't borrow it, but you can come and look at it. ;)

Nolly - I believe the body is 2 pieces of alder.

Ta Andy.

I wish old Afghan would stop mentioning sea foam green. I keep getting flashbacks to a guitar I saw in the now demised Andy's on Denmark St back in 1991. The closest I can come to a similar is this beauty.

Anyway enough of that, I'm off to play with my red shiny thing!
