I love a relic. Did it to my Strat. Aged all the plastic parts like pickup covers etc with some sand paper and soaked them in coffee overnight, rusted some of the metal parts in salty water and dinged the body up with a claw hammer
I think you learn a lot by doing this process for sure.
You've always got such impeccable taste in instruments. I'd definitely not be brave enough to do this myself, but you did a great job 👍
Thank you mate 🙏 It made it quite scary to ding up ha ha.
Looks awesome mate, great job! Also, love the pickup combo of Humbucker/P90, my favorite! 🔥
Thank you mate much appreciated. I completely agree. Stu over at Sunbear pickups did a fantastic job on these.
tastefully done
Thank you mate 🙏
I need to get a goldtop now
Absolutely! The question is, will you age it though?
On reddit I saw someone got a legit 52 Les Paul for 200 bucks in an estate sale, lol. The gold top just reminded me of it. But nice little relic job in my opinion!!!
Wow that's like a dream come true! Thank you mate I really appreciate that. Have you ever had a go at a relic?
that was good bro the sustain on your swifty relic is awsome man here have your gold star back i made it bigger for you
Thank you mate. I love how this turned out! You thinking of trying to relic any of your guitars?
Nicely done Joe! Your video was very enjoyable and that guitar is very much inspiring me to seek out a gold top, haha. Keep at it!
Thank you mate, I really appreciate it. The question is, will it be aged or not 😉
Great video Joe ! Very informative as usual ! Guitar sounds amazing with that pedal you have made aswell !Cant wait for the next one !!
Thank you mate. Question is do you like relics or not?
@@hellosailoreffectsofficial yes mate, they defo look better than a sparkly one off the shelf !
@@glynnunn3908 Absolutely mate 100%
I'm gonna start relic'd car business.😂
Ha ha ha ha I would love to see this! "Age your Range Rover to looks like a classic Land Rover".
Very cool!
Thanks mate, I'm really happy with how this guitar turned out.
@hellosailoreffectsoffical You did a great job on the relic. It looks great and I love the one p-90 and one bucker with just the wrap tail. Also, the hello sailor makes it! If u dont mind me asking, where did u have it built? Shes a '54 replica with a bucker in the bridge and arch top inlays ? Super cool!
Gold tops FTW
Absolutely mate. I'm a huge fan of them. Do you have a goldtop?
I had a R7 which I had to sell to help move my family back home. I loved that guitar and miss it dearly but I also have a goldtop PRS which I've had since 2000 and is my favourite guitar. It's the last guitar I'd ever get rid of.
Who made your goldtop Joe? The specs are spot on BTW. I'm a big fan of p90s in the neck and split parallelogram inlays are chefs kiss .
@@jonnywassober7008 It was made by a guy local to me in Portsmouth in his flat!
I chose each piece of wood for it!
I specked out every detail. Including the deep carve on the top.
Your prs sounds amazing!
I LOVE IT my family all love marmite prove us wrong!
Likewise ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Personally I can't stand the stuff but my daughter likes it.
love the SCC pannel coment!
Ha ha can't go wrong with the SCC! Made me laugh.
G'day Joe,
Being an Aussie, we have Vegimite, not Marmite. But that doesn't matter - I hate Vegimite, and I hate guitar relicing too. I prefer to keep my guitars looking as new as possible, for as long as possible. I know that a guitar will get knocked around, pickguards will get scratched & crack, paint will wear off, steel parts will rust, fretboards will develop grooves, and binding will crack & fall out. But I prefer that to happen over a life of playing them. Luckily for me, I am old enough to have a couple of guitars that have been worn from properly.
That being said, I still enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work.
Andrew
BTW, how did you go with Living In The 70's?
Thank you Andrew I really appreciate the response.
I thought I may invoke more controversy WRT relic guitars but it appears people feel less strongly about it.
I totally see your point with the ageing side of things. I was much the same at one point too.
Ah yes Vegimite! We had that whilst deployed to the Pacific. Also not my kind of thing ha!
I like how you do this but the real thing is always the best . What happens to your guitar on the road is unbelievable hahaha or the amps rolling down the road faster than your car hitting muds mostly and occasionally stone or house or even another car LOL
I completely agree mate. I totally get why people wouldn't like this wort of this but I find myself drawn to it.
Who built the guitar? I mean cut the body, carved the top, glued it all together etc ?
A guy local to me built it in his flat. I chose all the wood etc. He even cloned my 1960 melody maker neck.
If you contact Crater Guitars on Insta he builds for them.
hate it with the most hate you can hate
I'm most definitely not a fan ha ha.
Critique not related to what you did in the video, the poker chip doesn't match the pickguard like it would on an original.
About relic guitars in general, it has to be done right. I don't like how Fender just sands the entire neck for example
@MuscleCarLover Agreed mate, I have never owned a vintage guitar with a sanded neck.
The pickguard came from Mojoaxe. It's definitely darker than I would like.
@@hellosailoreffectsofficial Yeah, a lot of the "cheaper" relic jobs are very...not good. Yours is definitely a lot more believable. Did you happen to put bronze into the gold finish?
@MuscleCarLover Thank you, I really appreciate that, especially as i am a complete novice when it comes to ageing guitars. Im sure my life story video that goes live today will highlight just how novice i actually am ha! The paint came from Manchester Guitar Tech and he uses the same bronze flakes as Gibson did in the 50s.
@@hellosailoreffectsofficial Niiiiiiice, it'll green over nicely then. And yeah, the trick to a realistic looking relic is definitely in using "tools" that would give an authentic mark. You definitely gave that a vibe of a rocker who wore it nice and low.
I also like that you didn't go overboard, it looks like it was taken care of, but still used a good bit
@MuscleCarLover Cheers mate that's the exact vibe I was going for. It's going to be with me for guitar shows so it can't look ridiculous.
