The Way of Relic :
Squier '51 Project
Relic Body
|
Okay, I've reliced the body.
Let's see how it looks with other parts.
|
|
Hey, it looks nice!
I get the feeling that there once was a
vintage guitar like this.
|
|
See!? It may go for $500,000 on eBay if I say
"Discovered rare 1951 Stratocaster prototype."
|
|
Ahh..well..there won't be THAT stupid person..
Besides, no one would
overlook the "Squier"
on the headstock.
|
|
|
|
|
The real vintage guitars do not always have cracks on the body. But if there are cracks, it should look like these type of linear cracks most of the time. Otherwise vintage experts would suspect that it is a fake guitar.
|
|
Suspect? What are you talking about?
There is NO real vintage of this guitar in the first place! |
|
That's right. But I don't want to make any
"what?-are-you-kidding?-aged-finish"
guitar even if it's an original modern guitar.
|
|
I've put some dirt along with the pickguard and other parts. Experts would definitely notice if these parts are too clean.
|
|
I was meticulously careful when making the
dirt's material
so it may pass even the scientific test for this part.
|
|
What a useless effort...
I said nobody would perform authentication on this guitar.
It's obviously a SQUIER 51.
|
|
Wait.. Huh? Did you change the bridge?
|
|
|
Oh, yes. I've put a modified telecaster bridge
to get a more vintage feel.
Of course I used compensated saddles for better tuning.
|
|
|
I see. But unlike a string-through ashtray, it
must have been hard to
find a top-loader plate.
|
 |
Wh..why do you know those maniac terms?
|
|
Oh come on! Katsumi san.
All young girls know such things nowadays, don't they?
|
|
I didn't know that...
