Road Worn '50s Telecaster Limited Edition Electric Guitar Purple Metallic - Today's Price...

You know. I've had my Gibson Sonex 180 since 1979. Pieces of it currently sit in my garage, which does not have protection from weather.

Nothing on it is rusted. There are no 'bruises.' (Of course, the headstock is snapped at the Gibson-headstock-snap-location, but ... ). And that guitar certainly got used in a lot of smoky, not-nice places.

WTF is it with "road worn?" The 'wear' I saw on the road was psychological, unless we're talking about gear theft.

In the late 90s early 2000s, I played this Ric 620 for a couple years.

Our practice space didn't have any climate control, so in the summer it was brutally hot and in the winter it was freezing. When I sold it, the bridge and bridge pickup had rust everywhere on them. The finish where my arm is resting, was starting to wear in places.

...and you had to walk through the snow to get there five miles....uphill...both ways?
 
Anderton's also commissioned an FSR run of unreliced bullet Squier tele's in roughly the same colour.




But they're long since all gone

Funny thing is that this is very lightly relic'd and people are reacting like it is highly distressed.

Yeah, I'm with you. Seems pretty light to me. It doesn't look like it got into a fight with a belt sander like a lot of heavily relic'd guitars.

I like that purple tele and would play the hell out of it.
