I think custom shop relics look terrible, they have "Fake relic job" written all over them. Definetly not a good enough job for the money their asking.

Well, if you wanted your body heavily relic'd. I would say to sand all the paint off of it (down to bare wood), then get some really cheap spray paint and do it over with a really thin coat (you can also do burst this way). The whole point is after a few months it will start to relic naturally but alot faster. That cheap paint will fade in no time and will get scratches by just simply looking at it, hehe. It will look suprisingly authentic too. (This method can look alot better then custom shop relics that I've seen.)

But if all you want is just some light dings and scratches here and there. You could stand across the room from your guitar and throw some keys at it a few times, that should work for ya.

Tip: If you have a polyester finish...throw keys alittle harder. :lol:
