I voiced my opinion before that I'm not a fan of aged instruments, but I'll have to admit there is a LOT of skill and craftsmanship that went into making this look authentic. Nice work.

Like the Z at the bridge - Will Ray?

The finish looks quite naturally aged, but the "worn" (chipped?) spot on the front face - that's just not my cup of tea.

Not bad but it's a little too much for me still. A "light" relic is probably more my cup of tea.
Seems to me the neck/headstock/tuners don't look aged nearly as much as the body? Maybe that's just the photos.
