Why Relic?
Most guitarists who relic their instruments know the frustration: you spend hours aging the body and hardware, then you bolt on the neck with shiny new screws that ruin the illusion. Our relic screws are made of steel (not stainless) and treated to develop a genuine aged patina. They look like they’ve been holding a neck together since the 1960s.
