    I just don’t know what to say..
    I keep seeing stuff for auction on ebay with sellers proudly displaying their goods, secret relic-ing techniques undisclosed, and they think they are doing a wonderful job, anyone seen a relic ( i left it out in the rain with some rusty nuts and bolts on it for 5 days) as bad as this one?

    Some of his quotes:

    ‘This guitar is a 2003 Squier Telecaster which has been modified and reliced by myself to look like a really old and battered beauty’

    ‘The metal parts have all been sympathetically aged to give that authentic vibe.’ (Tea stains on LCD screen after reading that one)

    ‘The body on this beauty is a solid wood job’ -( nice to see its not marine ply.)

    ‘I would happily take this guitar anywhere (why not start with your local Dump?)- it is definitely a talking (surely he means ‘laughing’ point?) point and something to be proud of. It’s not often you see a Broadcaster now is it?’ (More tea on monitor… Broadcaster?? this pile of ….)

    ‘Ladies and gentlemen (boys and girls?), what we have here is not a Custom Shop relic (At last, some honesty), but a budget conscious version which looks every inch the part.’

    ‘The intonation and action have been set up properly to a very high standard, this would cost you around £60 in a music shop’ (i think he means £20 to post it there £20 to get it back £15 for the setup and a fiver for the strings…£60 my arse!)

    here are some ebay customers comments:

    ‘Good relic…Very pleased…Best setup guitar ive had….Cheers..Buyer IM_SO_FCUKINGSTUPID(140) 23-Sep-07 180157916960

    ‘Good item, well relic’d. Thanks Buyer SELLERS_BROTHER(72) 01-Apr-07 180097392296
