I have seen a few threads in other forums about a relic MIM Strat that was up on a few sites but the nwas taken down. I hope these are in the making since I can't afford the price of a custom shop relic. Has anyone esle heard anything else about these? Here is a short description from one of the sites.



"Like classic cars or your favorite T-shirt, some things just get cooler with age. It's especially true of electric guitars--they develop an unmistakable mojo over time that only makes 'em look even cooler and feel even more comfortable than when they were brand- new. That said, Fender's new Road Worn '50s Strat guitar delivers that killer aged look, feel and mojo without breaking the bank; designed using 1950s specs augmented by Tex-Mex pickups and 6105 frets. A true player."

I'll relic your guitar for you. Be warned it will void any warranty though.

seriously, relic'ing is a custom shop only process. Only saturday was i reading a Yuri Shishkov interview where he explains the crazing effect being bought about by spraying dust remover on a half dry nitro finish. Theres some things that can only be done at certain times i guess. Which would bring a hand crafted element into relic'ing, therefore customshop. :cry:

As long as it's nitro then the finish can be checked at any time using compressed air and a hair dryer.

Hmmmm. I've never heard of those. The few search hits on retail sites seem to indicate that it's a discontinued model. Or is it a model yet to come? Curious.

They were up on the sites and then taken down for some reason. I would be very interested in one of them.
