Is This Now A Bit Too Much?

i actually have generally been a fan of relics but for some reason this one just sort of 'hurt'...suhr's just don't seem to look right relic'd to me for some reason
 
It looks like they took everything I like about the Luxxtone aesthetic and then pooped on it...

Heavy relics can go from awesome to shit sandwich quickly...
 
I've never felt the desire to buy any level of relic'd....just me I guess. They look "cool" to my eye, but i'd rather the relic'n have a story, other than "....some dude sanded me down in the shop and then marked up my body with wire and chains...."

I may be too "old fashioned".
 
I liked the Scott Ian murder weapons and dimes DUI Washburn. Chiseled and blow torched. Splattered with blood.

Relic'd strats look kinda cool, just not for me. The luxxtones are way cooler IMO.
 
I'd love a relic but realistically, that is a bit too much. I'll just naturally relic my own from many years of use!
 
I'd rock it. Kind of wanting to try a Suhr lately. Didn't Steve K buy this?
 
I'd buy jeans with holes already in them directly after purchasing this guitar.
 
I buy used guitars with "relicing" all the time. Not too much different to buy it that way from the factory. Either way I end up playing something covered in wear that I didn't do.
 
Wow, that looks ridiculous. That is ugly. The neck is clean.
What a waste. :aww:
 
I dig some of the relic stuff especially the Luxxtone stuff, but this is ridiculous!!!
 
Something about the Modern body style just doesn't lend itself to relic finishes. I can't quite figure out why, but it just doesn't look right. This one is way over the top too. That doesn't help.
