funny you say that about the big F Doc,
few months ago I attended the roadshow and it focused on custom shop and they have a heap of relic'd guitars in the range like Clapton, Beck, Hendrix, SRV and they were all dinged up and paint missing, cigarette burns, matched perfectly with the real thing. Sure these guitars would cost well north of $10-15k. I don't see the point.
Bassguy from the forum walked out after half an hour in disgust
