Dont want to sound like I am poo pooing but I hate reliced Guitars, especially Fender ones....

I prefer naturally aged guitars but that one somehow actually appeals to me....

I'm with you on this DB, I don't see the point of it ( I think it's just wannabe d1ck waving )

Wear it down yourself if you must

I actually agree, it should age naturally.
But to me this looked good, if it was the real deal then even better.
It does seem wierd to try and make something new look old - be something it is not, but I like this one

I really like some relicing jobs, but for me this is too much. Give me what looks like a 50s tele in much loved condition any day. A little too much grime here for my liking. Sorry Stan!!

cheers,
Gav.
