Not all, not the belt-sander brigade, but the ones where things are made to feel old rather than to look like road kill, I get that.
And then there are the ones that go so far over the top that it can become an artform. I think the closest I got to that myself was with some rust and rosewood veneer, but I do have a high regard for the peeps that pull something quite so OTT off.
The reason I mention this is because I got Graham over at Ray Gun Relics to do me a tastfilled aged guitar (more on that another day) which has severely exceeded my expectations, and having seen some of his other work, I am definitely putting him in the artist category.

For now.
So I am thinking I might have to treat myself to one of his exaggerated heavy relics as, as it were, a Tele I think, I just can't decide which one.
Hope he doesn't mind my nicking his pix, but gord knows I like to share with the group...
You can find Ray Gun Relics on Ebay HERE
La la laaa
Holy cow are they cheap and amazingly lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteWas this just a purchase for yourself? or do you plan to experiment with it?
No, my one he did as a custom so I specced everything and am verily chuffed indeed :)
ReplyDeleteGraham is awesome and have purchased 5 off him. They are gigged and sound and look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI sent him a review yesterday and he was chuffed.
Good to hear Chris, and totally agree - he is a total gent, great to deal with, and the guitar I've had (really must put a foto up) is stunning. I'm definitely going to have to get one of his Teles though, they look incredible
