I never understood the modern trend of buying new guitars that have been faux aged/weathered. Buy a fuggin guitar, play the shit out of it OR buy an actual used/vintage instrument that has gone through the natural process.

I’m with you. I’m tempted to “relic” this one but can’t bring myself to work hard to get a good finish, then drag it around the yard.
I will likely spray a bit lighter in certain places to make the wear a bit more rapid. I don’t put much finish on fretboards and none on the back of the neck.
