I think it's gay. They do all kinds of stupid shit to make guitars look well played. Including corroding screw heads and tarnishing hardware.

Why, it can't make the guitar more valuable, does it give the player creds?

Basics...



Pick three and it's money for nothing and sex or free.*



* I know it was "chicks for free" but that would be sexist and exclusionary by precluding the possibility of female guitar players on MTV.

I don't think it adds value... But then value is determined by how much any buyer is willing to pay. I guess the idea is to give the false impression that you've been playing so many shows or hours that you've worn out your guitar. I think it's dishonest. Does a tattoo make you tougher? Or just look tough?
