Ageing a body

[WezV]

any of you ever smashed a tele - those things dont go easy!

I would use an axe. There's not much more fun that hacking things with an axe. :)

So you wouldn't like this video then Roo?
Especially 2:36

Sorry Roo. It's not good form to taunt people without pasting the link:

Has this thread gone off topic?

That's one of the best tele collections I have ever seen. I do sometimes wonder if BFG has seen it and thought that his collection is much bigger than that. That is one video I would almost pay to watch!

Bigger definitely doesn't mean better when it comes to tele collections (unless you're collecting them for firewood, I guess). I think Roo has the right idea on this one  :lol:

I hear black tea works well for ageing white knobs and stuff.

lol Alex, way to go, dragging this thread kicking and screaming back somewhere remotely near topic :D

Leave it in front of a sunny window, when you're not playing it and you'll get the yellowing much faster. I'm sure you could simulate this with a plant light or something though..... It's the UV rays that are doing the work there.

whenever I can, I try to age an entire guitar at once, or, barring that, I age the largest sub-assemblies possible.

The result is more natural look than you get when aging individual parts.
