I usually hate the relic'd guitars but I cant imagine that with a pristine brand new finish. It suits the old battered look. I would much rather do it myself though, throw it out of the window or something. Set it on fire maybe.

These are just too sparse looking for my liking.
Bringing that pickup up trough the guard might help a bit.

It practically begs for a tremelo too.

Is the Malikcaster being made? or is it just a mockup?

I don't like them. They're far too bare looking.
Plus, is there any fucking chance of Fender's Custom Shop making a guitar that they haven't beat to shit? I get that it might be a sort of niche fashion at the minute, but nearly every fucking guitar I've seen from the Custom Shop is relicced. It looks really, really shitty, and says everything about why I'll never own one (finances aside).

There have been sightings of such a beast.

The Alden Jazzcaster is better looking than these things. Fender should've just copied that. Who made those pickguards, Ronald Reagan's exhumed corpse enbalmed with Flubber?

I kinda dig the look, but goddamn that price. Relics are fucking stupid.

Doesn't look bad. The headstock is kind of nasty though, and it's essentially a Jazzmaster copy rather than two guitars combined.

That's not actually the guitar I meant, I think I got the name/brand wrong...
Ah, this guy:

Ah, this guy:
That is awesome except for one thing... the contour of the pick guard doesn't follow the upper horn correctly. Aside from that it's a beaut.

Yeah that is a lot nicer. Don't dig the pearl on a sunburst body though.
