If you have a real guitar with unusual damage it has its own tale to tell, but when it's fake it's just gets a bit weird.
I tend to agree. These heavily reliced back story type guitars are just too contrived for me but I get that they are interesting for collectors as examples of guitar 'art' rather than as musical instruments to play. I also think the same point can be levelled more generally against any kind of heavy relic – i.e. any relic where the amount of relicing work has gone beyond making the guitar more comfortable and lived in.
There seems to be some sort of collective hysteria about old guitars now, both genuine and fake. I can just about understand eye-watering prices for truly exceptional original examples, but not for knackered wrecks or laughable reproductions of them. It seems that the worse they are, the more the buyers want to pay... I just don’t get it at all.
