Just to give an example of a really great relic, 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-HEAVY-RELIC-TELE-BODY-IN-VINTAGE-CORRECT-NITRO-LACQUER-CRAMPS-GOTH-PUNK-/400625123744?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item5d471e41a0

It's unrealistic, but it means it's not trying to be something it's not, as such - it's like a prop, and looks great for it!

It's horses for courses tho ain't it? I think that's more than 'get away-able' if you play like you're thrashing the fucking tits off it, but not if you're into smooth jazz. I'd get away with it. Seen much worse come out of Fender.

The only real issue I have with this seller is his use of trademarked logos and that really is not on.

What trademarked logo? Not being an arse, just not seeing it, unless you mean 'Tele' ?

All this fake vintage stuff is crap, but that is on another level of crap

If you're including Fender Custom Shop Relics in your 'fake vintage stuff', then there's thousand of guitarists out there who would wildly disagree with you. Me too - I've owned a few and some of them have been the best Strats/Teles I've ever played. And they're great for gigging guitars as you don't have to worry if they pick up the odd little bump along the way!

Yup I certainly am! Thanks for the stats though. 

Poor you, your blind prejudice means you're missing out on some of the finest guitars around! Each to their own though.  

Genuine lol! Some people on this site are hilarious

if it stays at that price, it's still a bargain, especially if it does have gibson pickups...

Stayed at that price - 1 bid..!
