Re: jackson RELIC?
I'll beat up my own guitars, thank you. I don't see the need to have it done for me.Scott
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

Re: jackson RELIC?
Quite amazing work they do... None of us could believe that the guitar was just completed a week prior to the show.
I never understood the concept behind 'relic-ing' (I can't remember the Jackson/Charvel term for it) but hey, it makes FMIC some tall $$$$.
BTW, the picture of the SRV strat from NAMM... That is not the real deal... That in itself was a Fender Custom Shop "Relic'd" guitar.Occupy JCF

Re: jackson RELIC?
The guitar was built as an exact replica of a 1982 Rhoads. This includes the type of fretwire used, and the neck, pickups and hardware all look and feel like they would on a guitar that was 22 years old. We also had Mike Shannon sign the back of the headstock. It's pretty wild looking.

Re: jackson RELIC?
Ron; I got pictures of it, you can see them in the section where remcarr posted them for me. I have shots of the headstock featuring the old style Made In USA under the Jackson Logo, the small fretwire with binding over the ends, non-logod Duncans, etc... There's even a shot of the serial number [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I like the idea of an old Rhoads but I agree with the rest of the JCFers, let us put our own chips in it please [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] i think this is one of Fender's ideas as they've been selling Relic Strats for a few years now. I never quite understood the pricing for a "beat new guitar" [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

P.S. Most people who initially looked at that Relic Rhoads thought it was an old original till I pointed out the RR2887 (I belive) serial number which makes it a later Rhoads than my Mystic Rhoads custom shop [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] They sure fooled a lot of people.Rudy
