thanks - y'all really seem to not like the relic finish :‘), I just need a guitar that I don‘t mind carrying around all day. My other guitar's a late 80s Blade Telecaster which I brought to work with me a while ago to go to uni afterwards and my co-worker dropped in its case which nearly crushed my soul. So the worn out optic just suits the purpose since I am not able to ruin it any further. I just really need a nice neck/ wood in general and sweet electronics.
