If PRS starts selling pre-reliced guitars, it's all over... It will be a sad day.

Look at you, with your actual data.Well Relics have been around for a couple decades. Sales of them are still growing on my end. It is a long fad if it is one.
Is there such a thing as a "mint" relic?
Say what you want but they're a huge portion of Fender's Custom Shop sales.

Ok Les, is that like a crocodile skin case, with actual tooth marks in it “mint condition” and make it the delivery “snappy”!!Only the case (unless it was relic’d too!).

Oh, that's a thing man. Check out ICON - they make 100k reliced broncos and stuff. If you ever watch cars shows, it's a very in thing at the moment. I think it's nuts, personally.Imagine a brand new car that's a copy of a '67 Buick Electra 225; dented, rusty, maybe has a couple of hubcaps missing, worn tires (some are whitewall tires, some aren't, and one's a snow tire), springs that don't work, a cracked windshield, primer over body filler in spots, needs a new muffler, has one headlight that works, a cracked taillight, a rear window where the glass is missing so it's a piece of Visqueen duck taped on, and a ripped up interior with a warped dashboard and a missing radio with the hookup wires dangling out.
And it comes with a $50,000 price tag and is something of a status symbol.
Car companies would clean up.
Well, I guess it'd go with my new $2,000 '76 reissue relic'd leisure suit that has coffee stains, dirt, some missing buttons, and bell bottom pants that are too short.
Humans are posers. It's part of the DNA.
In fairness, the relicing on guitars isn't affecting their actual playability, unlike what Les described. One could even argue that properly relicing a guitar could improve the playability. I'm not a car guy so I'm not familiar with what you describe, so maybe it's all cosmetic rather than actual damage like Les described.Oh, that's a thing man.
