NAMM 2012: Fender Custom Shop MONSTER RELIC JazzMaster WOW

[beanoburst66]

it is called a monster relic! meaning it's supposed to look like it has been beaten to shit! it's cool and fun.

How do people make a determination on what a relic is truly supposed to look like? I've seen a number of real vintage instruments that besides the arm rest and neck wear, have very little in commom as far as where they are actually worn.

It al depends on the player that owned it, their style and the abuses they subjected it to. There shouldn't be a standard.

I think it looks awesome btw.

Has anyone ever seen a naturally aged player look like that?

looks like it's been used to paddle a boat.
