Monthly update from your pal, the human relic'ing machine...

5 months yesterday...
 

 

 
I did look them up a bit on the internet to see if any other owners were experiencing so quick a natural relic-ing process - looks like there's no competition. :/
 

Maybe, in hindsight, the sandpaper shirts were a mistake?

 
Best 'relic' ever  
Worst 'copy' of the best relic, ever  
 
 
Sorry Fender, but that's a major fail

We've seen the pics - about time we heard it.
 
ps. did you know that the strings are on upside down ?

I posted a little video a few days after I received it - nothing fancy, just me warming up to one of those Hendrix songs I love to play.

Yeah, I saw that. I meant in terms of a finished production. You've played it so much that you've worn the finish off, so you've gotta have more than that by now and if there's anyone in here who has enough time on their hands to actually finish something..........well............you probably see him in the mirror a lot.........
 
......not that I'm saying you look in the mirror a lot, just that he's probably looking back at ya on when you do.;)

In terms of finished production, this will definitely require some more time. I did complete a few demos for my wife but we're still working out arrangements and furthermore, with her doing 10 shows a week, she has to rest her voice when she's off. That's something we can potentially work on during her vacation.
 
As for my own projects - there's actually very little guitar in my own music. It's closer to Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode than anything guitar-oriented. And admittedly, I have procrastinated on that front, especial since my latest OS upgrade, which seems to have impacted on my DAW quite a bit. It becomes harder to work on those more demanding projects.
 
For almost 15 years, the only times I picked the guitar was when I had to record something. I never just played. In fact, I didn't pick it up for months, maybe even a full year here and there. It's nice to do the opposite for a change, and these days, I'm happy to spend time trying to improve my playing and to learn techniques I'd never considered in the past. Likewise, I'm hoping to get back to the nylon soon and start studying classical guitar again. 
 
There's so much music out there, and so much bad music at that, that I don't see the point in me piling up more crap on top of it just for the sake of it. :P
