NGD & Question

Post by R_T_Hermit » Fri Jul 30, 2021 7:22 am

Question first: If you happen upon a CS heavy relic that checks most every box, do you have to turn in your OSG card? Or take a long timeout in the penalty box?

‘59 LTD Ed heavy relic Strat roasted neck. Texas special PU’s. 6100 jumbos. I apologize to purists, but this neck shape rivals the 62 Jag hanging beside it—at least it does to my hands. And, at my age, I don’t have the time left to age one naturally.

Note: It said “aged Olympic white.” As soon as I unboxed it my wife asked if it was a faded light blue, so the color in the pic IS the color of the guitar. No camera/lighting issues involved.
Isn’t Sunburst a guarantee it’s NOT a refin?

I would say No? Ass long as you keep that red one around....

Relic'ing is somehow still a contriversal topic but there is something pretty special about a nice neck thats broken in and a body that you dont freak out over when you get a pick scratch...

Happy NGD!

FCS has had a coupel of '59 profiles - is this the smaller one then? I tend to like those
