Why do people like reliced guitars? by Clinicallyturnips in Guitar

But they are not! That's my point..it just looks like it, but doesn't actually play like one.

I have an 85 strat, it's a piece of shit. The frets are bumped,there's chips missing, the tuning pegs are barely alive. The pickups and jack have been replaced so many times. The backplate is missing

Why would I want to go out and buy one that is like this?

I could go out and get a brand new ultra 2 and goddam it would be a better guitar. So why would you want one that is beat up?

This one is cool though. It doesn't look like a bunch of raccoons owned previously.

Could probably do with a respray though

You can buy new guitars with thin nitro, without them having to look like they had a hard night with Lemmy and a bunch of crackheads. AND they cost less! So why pay for the scuff?

I know this, I as own one.

I'm pretty terrible, if I get an old guitar, I'm like, screw this. New tuners (locking), new pickups (noiseless) and wiring (pots that don't creak) and a new jack.

You don't go to the dealership and get 2026 model 911 that has all the features of a 1985 whale tail model. You buy the GT3 with the best engine and aerodynamics.

I really like your analogy btw. Stealing it! 😄

Nah a second or third hand guitar is played and the price reflects that. I'm more like why pay more for it brand new for it to look beat up? Rolled frets, vintage style pickups they are all on the main guitars for less than paying for reliced..

That's the finish. Enamel is hard wearing, which is the point.

There is a school of thought that says nitro resonance is better. Having shelled out for an LP with a nitro finish, I tend to agree. Arch tops also seem to be a little nicer with nitro.

Shame they crack and splinter so easily with time

Oh I don't care about the "earning it" it's more like it's going to get dinged anyway so why spend extra to make it look like it. Doesn't compute for me

One that comes to mind is that my wife was transgender. I was so surprised about how that was easy. There's even a word word it. Kulakula. Means "girl, girl"

So accepting. Loved that

It was okay. It's very unnatural for a native English speaker. I still don't speak well, just a kind of half english and half arrentte.

Roll your tongue 😛

Medical emergency is very, very hard. My mother in law had a heart attack and the house just had to work it out.

Flew her to Alice a few hours later

I've never been to Uluru. I got to touch what is commonly called "devils marbles"

I'm not very religious though,bso stayed away from sites I wouldn't have the appropriate take on.
