i'd be looking for a discount as if it was a beaten up car,i've no problem with something beat up
after 40 yrs or more gigging but to beat it up intentionally is dumb, esp for the price some of them command. it
really reflects the bizzaro world in which we live, imagine your bmw dealer trying to sell you a new car scratched
to pieces for the same price as a new one, or a vintage one in a similar state......you'd laugh at him
relicing is the biggest sales con in the guitarworld!
