Re: How To Relic A Guitar
so relicing a guitar is technically taking all the hardware and the neck off and damaging the body o.0

Re: How To Relic A Guitar
I have found ridiculous amounts of resources, links, etc. on relicing nickel, chrome, and gold hardware. But I am currently working on a reliced strat with black hardware, the matte kind. Does anyone know if the same methods (tumbler, muriatic acid) apply or if I need to go about this differently? I appreciate the help.

Re: How To Relic A Guitar
Relicing black hardware would be a disaster to the plating. You can lightly age by rubbing it on a doormat . Maybe some incense smoking it to add some mojo would be best or nicotine

Re: How To Relic A Guitar
checking has to be done with a exacto knife blade to look 100% correct . It takes a long time but looks very real compared to the freeze method , that to me looks way off real checking .

Re: How To Relic A Guitar
I have seen a lot of bad knife checking.
Also, what if the laquer starts to check by itself over time áfter the knife checking, now that would look bad...

Which "freeze" method are you talking about? One looks good since it's practically the way it happened anyway, and the other looks cheesy.
