I was really excited for this one and it just dropped this morning. Did not expect it to be a made in Mexico version though and that probably removes me from the market for this one as I was hoping to replace my American Ultra with this version.
Anyone planning on grabbing this one?
Ok this sounds judgemental, I know, but I really don’t understand the appeal of "relic"ed guitars. I’d feel totally camp showing such a guitar to a friend. The pre-ripped Nordstrom jeans of rock.
the dings on my guitar all tell my story. How once in the airport, i pulled out my Martin during a long layover, and dinged it against a chair, how my oldest kid ran his toy car into the headstock and scratched it, how i neglected to care for the area under my elbow and over time, the sweat eroded the lacquer, etc. who on earth wants those stories made up from the factory?
