Love paisley, hate relicing unless the guitar comes by it honestly.

Paisley: good
Relic: whatever
Relic'd paisley: abomination

I like the paisley relic'd into metal-toned paint. Not a fan of the nearly whited out version or the faded paisley burst.

I don't get the little splotch on the headstock. Makes no sense.

ah! couldn't make it out on my phone, thought it was supposed to be some errant paisley patch.

Looks fucking brill - the first is best by a long shot.

The best strat body i ever saw was one that a luthier had used for testing out mods and paint jobs over years - it basically looked like a park bench that had been painted multiple times and weathered by ...the weather... and had random nail holes here and there. it was the coolest most naturally gnarly body ever and the layers of colours were awesome. Alas he took it off ebay before I bid. I would have stuck a stainless steel pickguard to it

It really makes me wish I bought that black paisley tele when they were out, but fender got lazy and did't paisley the back, and the print was pretty pixellated

I'll say this: it looks like a guitar I wish I owned. I guess it's contrived, but it's not without charm.

They should sell them unrelic'd with a really thin finish so over time you reveal what's inside like a guitar kinder egg

I like the first one a lot too, don't care about most relics, this looks like it's own thing. Maybe make them like jawbreakers, the more you suck the more they change color.
