    I’ve made a few strats and one tele with thin nitro finishes, that will naturally wear with use. 2 coats of color and 1 heavy coat of clear. The wear becomes unique and personal.

    What do you think about the quality of the pick ups? And quality of the fret work So far I am pretty impressed with the rosewood neck. Looks like American vintage trem and bone nut. Hard shell case I think it would be a fun guitar to have in the collection

    Very interesting. Can you confirm something: the road worn finish appears to retain the shiny paint finish (as vintage guitars do) as opposed to the standard Mexican road worn finish that is matte and therefore looks wrong.
    Is that correct? The areas where paint is still in the body is shiny?

    • @themusiczoo

      @@benallmark9671 Much better than Joe Strummer, but it still feels and looks like the sunbust finish is just a sticker even if it isn't. It also appears that the raw wood is coated with something so I guess it will never become dirty/stained, it's probably a poly coat of some sort, because it reminds me of how the wood looks on a regular poly Strat if you strip the color off. The Charvel Henrik Danhage Signature that is probably made in the same line as these have a better stencil job and doesn't have the same coating on the raw wood for whatever reason.

      The only good relic job to come out of Mexico factory was Kurt Cobain road worn jaguar. Very authentic and well executed. Custom shop level relic. Fender obviously realized that it was too expensive to continue that and decided to go with a spray/relic template to make the process quicker and “cheaper”. For this Mike Mcready guitar and the Joe Strummer relic Tele it is not authentic at all. Terrible execution, terrible process, just bad. Embarrassing actually.

    I'd love to buy one of these, but I notice in the official stills that are on retailers web sites that the top E string is perilously close to the edge of the fingerboard, and would easily slide off during playing. I asked a retailer here in the UK to send me photos of the one they actually have in stock, and sure enough, that one has a wrongly spaced top E, less than a millimetre in from the edge of the fretboard. Not good. I recently bought a Mex Nashville Tele and it had the same issue, so I sent it back. I won't be investing. Shame, I liked the vibe of this model.

    They really missed the mark on the relic job, no matter what you guys say in order to sell more guitars. These are, far and away, below the quality of the Road Worn Cobain Jaguar. I own both, and side by side, the McCready job is hot garbage by comparison. But, they couldn't do it too good, or else they would have upset all the people that bought the first 60 at $15k per two years ago. Sad, because it wouldn't have taken any more labor to get it right...just do it right the first time, and not at $15k. For $1900 though? It's going back.
