How To Relic A Guitar

Not everyone agrees with this kind of thing. I can't say that I like the idea of attacking an innocent telecaster with screwdrivers cigarettes and razor blades to make it look old.

I prefer the natural worn look but hey if I needed a guitar to look old and worn for TV then sure I'd do it!

Hmmm .... Maybe not?

What do you think?

Marshall Supa-Fuzz pedal

Real vintage Marshall Supa-Fuzz pedal circa 1969. The pedal has OC75 germanium transistors in it. Sounds like shit eh?

Last month I saw one on Ebay and it was going for $1,800 USD. That's right! $1,800 for a shitty old pedal.
Guess what I have one!
Yep! One that was given to me by someone cleaning out their garage. “Here have a shitty old pedal” they said!

I had it in my garage for years. It lives in the house now.

Looking for a unique pedal?

Steve Vai - Jemini Distortion Pedal Demo

A stomp box review from the god himself. Hail Oh Great god of guitar. What box of noise doth thee cometh to pedal today?
------------
You're stomping all over my brilliant idea, but that's OK, you're supposed to.
The goal was to create a schizophrenic type distortion pedal that allows you to have two different settings with two different sounding distortion pedals, all wrapped up in a psyco-delic bullet proof package. Now you can get your dirty little groove on in public... legally.

Stomp on!

- Steve
