relic finished pedals!

Maybe Chrysler should start selling relic finished cars to inject some life into their sales.
Or maybe a reliced house?
Reliced Toothbrushes?
How about a relic finished girlfriend? She's 20 but looks 65. mmmmmmmmmm

Reliced clothes. That alone is enough to make me think people are stupid enough to buy anything!!!!!!!

[ayayay!]

I can't imagine what kind of tool you'd have to be to wear a relic'd guitar onstage. It's asinine to buy one, but has anyone seen a musician use one live?

To answer your question, I guess yeah there's quite a few who do it.  But if I hear that word as part of a gear list, all the street cred goes out the window. 

I met a kid here in KC that works for a guitar repair shop.  They relic guitars for some "big dogs" as he puts it.  Had a lot of "nashville" peppered throughout his converstation (which didn't impress me, btw.)

Anyway, the guy who runs the shop does good work on guitars.  I'm sure his relic'ing is *good* too.  Hey he makes some extra money at it, so whatever.  He's putting money in the bank providing something clients want.  I have no issue with that.  I just think it's lame.  I'd sell play-dough with cheez-it crumbs and chocolate milk already rubbed in if I thought moms would buy it.
