    I kinda like the blue one, but the board needs a good cleaning. Yuck! Those old-school wood screw posts also suck!

      Why do they go through all the trouble to relic then put a Custom Shop logo on the headstock?

      Kind of counterproductive.

        Personally, I have never understood the desire to have a reliced guitar. If I am going spend to that kind of money on a custom shop, I want it to look kick ass.

        I will relic that thing myself by playing the hell out of it.

          I get relic'd Strats and Les Pauls, but NO old Charvels ever looked like that. Its just kind of silly to me. Except for the necks - the necks are cool.

            Cool idea I think personally, but execution is ? Reverse head is the final nail for me.

              Didn't know they used to have wood screw posts. Won't those get chewed up?!?

                Jeez, relic'd is one thing but I think they went a bit overboard with the neck. Looks like someone took a dump and wiped their ass with the back of that neck.

                  That's what I don't get either; that's Nitro style wear. They know better than that.

                    It'd be a cold day in hell before I bought something like that. That fretboard is horrendous!!

                    I have two maple board equipped axes...at the very hint at dirt...they're fully cleaned. To each their own I guess.

                      i've always thought relic axes were cool if done properly, but her red one looks over reliced

                          My 56 CS "Mary Kaye" Relic looks correct and not fake looking/nitro cracked and worn.I don't get the Charvels. . .like urethane would really wear like that.
                          I wouldn't want one in that condition anyway,I'd rather have one that was taken care of.

                            if I buy a heavy relic, I expect to at least see a bent tuner or two and some missing bridge parts. And if one of the strap buttons is prone to falling out of its screw hole, I'll be as happy as a pig in shit.

                              Don't forget about some makeshift shims under the nut and in the neck pocket, some do-it-yourself sharpie touchups to the headstock, and the whole thing needs to smell like an ashtray.
