I explained above. I thought it was clear...

Nope, not at all. I just dislike people giving out bad advice, specially when they are contradicting better advice to give this bad advice. Why would anyone recommend removing a neck when it's totally unnecessary? That's just ridiculous.

Well there ya go. If you have a garage, a balcony or some sort of workbench in a workshop, making a mess with that horrific stuff they call steel wool may not seem like a problem. When you have none of those things & you do your soldering etc. on the kitchen table it's major problem, & a...

Johnny Cash didn't write Ring of Fire.

Yes that would work. But of course that would be replacing exactly the stuff that he sanded off in the first place. 😐

He played the poly finish off it over several deacdes, it wasn't deliberate. He didn't sand any nitro off to make it look like one of Fender's Custom Shop relics. Besides, his guitar looked awful, IMHO. But it was real & genuine.

Where do you do this? Do you have a workshop? Shed? Garage?

You're obviously much more of an expert on relics than Fender's Custom Shop then. What would they know?

Interesting that you seem to rank wife beating & adultery as equal. I don't. Beating someone is a vastly more serious crime than a little bit of casual consensual sex.

And throw in a bottle of this too.

No, a relic is the lacquer worn to simulate wear. Not sanded to remove the very expensive lacquer & leave bare wood.

That was a pretty dumb thing to do. The best thing to do would be to turn the clock back & not do stuff like that again...

Right, so remove the neck & mask the pickups just so you can use something nasty? :rolleyes: Why not first try something that doesn't require you to do either of those things?

We invented metal? Erm, what did we make it from? Plastic? Wool? Wood?

Start with the lightest gentlest option, like Duraglit. If that's not enough for the job, go to Scotchbrite. Never, never, use steel wool unless there is literally no other alternative. It's nasty stuff, bits of metal will get everywhere, specially stuck to your pickups. It amazes me that...

Welcome to Strat Talk. At least you understand the correct spelling of the word "relicked". It seems to be beyond most other people on here who invent some weird, illogical & just plain wrong words instead.

It's clear that you are on many people's IGNORE lists. Hardly surprising...

One thing we should all be able to agree upon is that there is no such thing as "tonewood" .There is wood & there is not wood - that's it.

An STI.

There's a wonderful episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David (who is Jewish) is whistling something by Wagner. Another Jewish person calls him out for effectively supporting Wagner, who was the favourite composer of a well known German führer from the 1930s. It's comedy, & very well...

America? Have the Yanks bought London now? WTF? I thought it was the Russians who had bought most of London.

Bin? Que?

Even though Fender US used poplar on many American Standards...

The adverts for the first 1982 AVRIs featured a Springy with the decal altered by whatever passed for Photoshop in 1982. The first AVRIs were not yet ready when the ads were prepared. Fender management knew how good the Tokais were, they had bought one or two to check out, that's why they...
