I'm curious about everyones thoughts on whether you would have liked to see there be a Black1 production relic, or do you like the NOS one more? Personally I love heavy relics but the custom shop one is outrageously priced imo. A production version relic of the blk1 would have been awesome to me.

buy a road worn and make your own version

I prefer the real thing

I agree. I think a production model would have been nice. I have thought about getting a black 50's roadworn and swap it with the rosewood neck off of my 60's roadworn to make my own. I think at this point I am going to go with a Rittenhouse replica. I have heard good things about them and is probably the closest I could get to the Custom Shop version.
