nice relic job. i really like the checking patterns on the finish.

toybitz · « **Reply #26 on:** January 03, 2008, 12:08:08 AM »

it looks natural to me.

i've held 2 overly used but not abused orig 60s and 70s strats...and comparing this white one...I'd say it looks close.

how about a "before" pic?

sonnyrayvaughn · « **Reply #27 on:** January 03, 2008, 12:08:36 AM »

anong guitar ginamit here?
Also yung neck is it maple? bat medyo "red-ish" sya and iba yung grains, parang mahogany...

the relic on the body is nicely done!

Nice job. How'd he do the cracking thing? I read somewhere that one "home technique" was to put the body in the freezer overnight, and then expose it to a heater. I'm sure though that Arie took a more scientific approach...

Alternating heat and cold application. Some get great results using simple everyday appliances like a hair drier and a can of compressed air (the one you use to blow away keyboard dust).

nicely aged oh...

seriously now...

naturally relic'd through the years...

I heard you can get the cracking paint look by using a can of freon, or any other refrigerant, then imediately using a heat gun/blow drier...i wouldnt want to try it though...

That looks great! I'd love a relic'ed 60s-style strat.

The guitar must've been exposed to extremes.. Nice relic job, Arie!! I'd like to know the intended year and orig color though..

ANG PUSO MO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

abyssinianson · « **Reply #44 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:07:53 AM »

so, to whom does this relic'd guitar belong to? will this thing ever get to see the gigging circuit or is it going to get stuck in a bedroom somewhere?

bluenote · « **Reply #45 on:** January 03, 2008, 10:04:54 AM »

Hanep Ganda sana may before and after pix din...

keida · « **Reply #46 on:** January 03, 2008, 10:11:16 AM »

where are the actual before and after photos?
sana may photos nung process.

all i see are 2 different sets of parts.
who knows baka vintage lang talaga yung isang set at talagang matanda na yung gitara?

CARABAO · « **Reply #47 on:** January 03, 2008, 10:29:42 AM »

IMHO, the cracks in the paint doesn't look natural but it still looks good

Hmmm... The cracks don't look natural? I'm not so sure about this. Have you actually personally examined authentic vintage Strats with natural paint cracks and checking? If not, then I guess you'll have a harder time distinguishing natural-looking cracks from ones that were obviously artifically made

Kulas · « **Reply #49 on:** January 03, 2008, 11:13:23 AM »

o, down boys... may mga hint ng padaplis jan ah. i don't want this to be another flame war. relax lang. the owner isn't disclosed but definitely not who you're thinking of. let's just appreciate the excellent work being done here.
