    By whom? Bob Ross or Rolf Harris?

    Actually, the radio looks interesting - provided that it is possible to obtain the correct valves.
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    Professionally reliced.

    Presumably by someone who's profession is NOT relicing guitars!

    Is it sunburst over green or green over sunburst?

    I can see the reasoning - I hate sunburst Teles too...

    both?
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Looks like someone 'professionally' rubbed their balls all over that one. "It's the bollocks innit!"

    To me a relic has to have a plausible story as to how the relicing might have happened. Fender used to shoot custom colours over sunburst bodies ... either because the sunburst was flawed, or there was a particular demand for a custom colour. And yes, the custom colour does wear off to reveal a sunburst. However not like that! Just in high wear areas like where the arm comes over the body.
    The pictured guitar is truly abysmal.

    People who do that to guitars should have a pointy headstock enema.

    I just find it hilarious that you can dip a brush into a tin of dulux, splurge it roughly on a guitar body and then refer to it as a relic

    Even a well used guitar would never look like that I reckon unless it was hated and thrown about all over the place for not being able to get a good sound out of it ;)
