This was also pointed out in your other post. We can't see your email.

But we don't need pictures to help you age your guitar. We refer to it as relicing, or artificial wear, and some folks here have done it with sandpaper, walnut stain, acid and some tools to rough up the finish. How far do you want to take it, mild or heavy relic?

Negatory there, good buddy.

It requires precision instruments to produce a realistic relic effect......

Like an ice pick and a belt sander.

:lol:

Ten-four, we gone!
