Stu, How are they particularly bad?

Doug- this is just my opinion, and lots of people feel differently, each to their own, and all- but the whole "relic" thing sucks. Its fake, its faux, its bollocks. A MIM Fender is a good thing. A "roadworn" is a just a MIM strat that Manuel attacked with a sanding belt. You can buy a better, CustomShop relic, its the same bull****.
Roadworn is the cheap end. There is whole other end expensive end to the "relic" thing. When you actually get hold of an (real) old guitar, they generally dont look like these "relics". In fact real old guitars often arent very good at all.
Just buy a guitar and play the snot out of it. In thirty years, youll have a roadworn guitar. I blame this guy for the whole relic thing.
