2/8. I have no clue what exactly to look for in the pictures. I like the relic look, but I refuse to pay extra for it.

Only the Malcolm Young guitar fooled me.

Right? That Malcom Young reissue, missing two pickups is just plane silly.

6/8 for me - some of those were tough! Would love to see the scores of TGP'ers who generally hate all relics, but don't seem to have a problem paying several thousands of dollars for vintage instruments...

That Frampton LP looked very underreliced for a relic!

The cracking around the knobs is what got me.

what are you guys looking for that determines the differences in these pictures?

Some just didn't look natural, or how it would really age.
You would think that major companies could do better though.

5/8, but the Malcolm guitar was more guess than anything else. Probably should have been 50%...

I remember, someone posted a Craig's List advert... this guy would relic your guitar the old fashioned way... by playing it.
You give him your guitar and he gigs it for 6 months and you get a true relic job.

8/8...But I work in this biz, so less would've been embarassing.

Not at all.
I just made a living for ages knowing all the different series, etc.

Nevertheless... the relic is strong with this one!
