Funny that, i've been looking at other stuff, there was an Electric Mandolin player in one of my brothers previous bands, that sounded pretty awesome, he had it stuffed with pollystirene, cant remember why, better sustain i think ?, inspired me to buy an Electric Mandolin some day

You can relic that thicker paint in a really cool way, although there's no chance anybody could get it right the first time. You can cool it down and freeze it to get a checked paint look. My brother and I, thirty years ago, were pioneers in guitar relicing accidentally. We left our gibson melody makers in the trunk of our car overnight on a cold New York winter night. Next morning - relics. The paint froze and checked. Relics were not cool then though.
G&L guitars (off-shoot of Fender) is offering relics with paint checking. It's actually cooler than the checking was on our melody makers, our lines were just white, so don't just freeze your guitar overnight in the car. It's not that easy.
This kind of relicing can't be done with nitro paint, it's too thin. I think these look incredibly accurate.

I thing something may have been mentioned about a bike at some point, it has gone very slighly off topic
Anyhooo, i did read about sticking the body of the guitar in the freezer but the paint still seemed too thick to replicate natural wear points etc, cant remember what the new stuff is called but i bought my strat new in 05 so it's definetely not nitrocelulose.
That Tele does look cool though.
The paint on mine did develop cracks, all over the finish as the paint reacted with the wood, more like crazy paving though, doesnt show too well with my crappy camera :roll:
Also forgot to post a pic of the rear of the guitar, tried to get a balanced look, like it has been droped and kicked across 1000's of stages
