Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
I'm not sure if this qualifies but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all.
I still don't know if I love or hate the 'relic' idea

yeah..... relicing for the sake of looking old and well-worn when it's not??? Nah... that's pretty wanna-be, eh!

I like a bit of subtle relicing, especially if it means the fretboard edges have been rolled and the fret ends are nice and smooth. Yes you can do this on new guitars, but they rarely come like that. It also normally means that the guitar's got a thin nitro finish on, one of my preferences for commercially built guitars.
But I don't like heavy relics. Most of the wear patterns seem very odd to me and I have no idea how you'd get any wear in some of the places shown.
Few things off Tumblr.
Worlds okayest guitar player.
