Yeah, this thread isn't really to debate whether people like them or not (that's been done to death) but more to show some of the crazy examples of really poor attempts :D
I know, and I can’t help it. I’ll try not to forget and keep repeating myself! But man, I fucking hate reliccing.

 Found this unusual "burgundy mist" relic on Germany's equivalent of Craigslist

Is that deliberate relicing? It looks like it has been rescued from a fire!

Was reminded of this thread when I saw THIS
It’s a white av65, of all things to hack up, unreal…..
There’s more photos of other badly reliced areas of the body in the ad as well.
Painful.

The people defending it... :D

You'd think all the relic haters would realize how boring and group-think their negative comments are, but nope... they come out in full force every time to spread the important message to others that they do not approve of relic guitars! What a bunch of whiny babies with narcissistic personality disorder...

Not as post-nuclear holocaust but somehow uglier and infinitely more embarrassing. A local shop got one -, it was either $10.4k or $14k.
