I've put more fine scratches to reduce the shine. Believe it or not, many vintage guitars still maintain their shiny surface. So I can't over do this process,  or it'll look fake.

As always, my pictures are so bad..





 

I think this picture is relatively good.
Can you see how the body became a slight bit duller than before?

	I also aged other parts.
	Hmmm.. well.. The saddles look okay but don't you think the bridge plate is still too shiny?
	UH-Oh, you don't know anything!
	I won't go over the details for you but some parts must still be shiny, and some parts wouldn't receive many abrasions. You should check many many vintage guitars to get the idea. But don't use old Japanese copy guitars as reference, since many of them "age" differently from the original vintage.
	I won't make the saddles too rusty and I didn't age the saddle height screws at all. For screws, I age the 'screw heads' only. The inside pots and wires are still totally new. That is to say, I don't want to deteriorate the guitar's function from my ageing process. It must look old, but it must perform and sounds well.
	Wow, you have your own relic philosophy!
	Of course I have! Do you want me to go further? It's gonna be long though. To begin with, the term "vintage" should not be used for those Japanese copies....
	Huh?... wait a minute..
	...
	What is it?
	...
	...Hey! No Way!!
	AGHHHHhhh!!! OH MY GOD!! NOOOOooo!!
