Earl Slick Guitars:
www.guitarfetish.com/Slick-Guitars_c_496.html
While I don't care for relic-ing at all, these are more "barely finished", ready to mod thingies.
Three piece ash body, Kind of unique hardware (recessed wraparound intonate-able bridge), rear Tele sized control route, graphite nut, and something new (and stupid) from GFS; physically, electrically, and magnetically pre-aged pickups (from the Slick line).
All this would seem pretty much a joke, until you see the price... $189~$219 USD.
Just about everyone who offers relic'd anything is charging a ridiculous premium for said aging.
While the typical GFS spin copy fills the descriptions, they might actually have something here...
Mainly, proving most every other guitar builder that is pre-aging their crap is ripping consumers off.
If these are halfway decent, and sell at all, I would imagine a "new" version would eventually follow with a simple non-distressed finish.
