YES!!! Get that *****in' Duncan out of there STAT!

Remove the one on the headstock while you're at it.

Didn't we had this same exact conversation over at TOP just last week?

Commenting on la szums hate twords pickup logos.
I just find it funny how a tiny logo from Company 1 is "advertisement that turns my guitar into a billboard", while big ass logo right there on the headstock (which is a logo in itself) by Company 2 is just fine.

Yes its not really playing related wear patterns.

You mean on the fretboard? The back looks about the same as my LP, which was relic'd by ME, i.e., played a lot for about 20 years.

But as far as the rest of that body being authentic..., I can't see it.

Does anyone here have a real old strat with wear like that? Looks to me like it would've had to have been rode around in the trunk of a car for a decade. Just doesn't seem realistic to me.

I mean, how's a guitar supposed to get that wear along the lower bottom edges of the body, front and back, like that?

Missing the output jack? A lot? Whole confusing the side of the house for your guitar cable?

If you’ve never seen this relic job you are missing out. Top comment in the comments is just a fantastic summary of this video.

This is not a relic. The paint on pre CBS fender is very fragile;

Not so different.
