I just don't get the 'aged' bit. It seems as though folks are attempting to buy cred instead of earning it.

me neither, i don't buy my jeans with holes in them.

i suspect that Fender custom shop does big business on "relic'd" guitars from what i've seen on the market, though. gotta give the people what they are willing to pay for!

Guitars like that should be heavily discounted at the “scratch and dent” sale!! :evilgrin:

It looks even more strange with a beat up body and perfect neck. Maybe they also use scratchy pots and intermittent switches and jacks for true aged performance.
