Hello everyone, first post here.

I'll be picking up my first CS guitar off layaway sometime in the next month, a 1960 strat (hence the name Fiesta60 :wink: )

Anyways, for those of you who own relics, have you found they continue to "relic" over time? Before/ after pics would be cool if you've got them. I did a search and came up with nothing.

Thanks!

I would think they continue to age as any guitar does, especially with that already worn thin nitro coat but it all depends how much you play it and how well you care for it. Anyway, enjoy...

Thanks, that makes sense. I guess what I really meant was will the relic-ing continue due to the already worn condition but you answered that anyways :)

the aging process isn't "frozen in time" by the guy who did it.
the worn down look is already here but the guitar will keep changing according to how and how much you play it, nitro works that way.
