It looks like a cartoon drawing of an old guitar. Very, very strange.

I'm not surprised. Those real antique Freshman guitars are really sought after and hard to come by, so why not give your guitar the 'relic' treatment to fool observers into thinking you've got the real deal?

Maybe if I can find the craftsman who did that to the Freshman I'll have him do something similar to my Brook. I think it looks so much better this way. :irony:

Has it really been aged by a craftsman, or was it found floating in the canal amongst all the supermarket trolleys?

How would those scratches happen naturally? A guitar that was played by Edward Scissorhands maybe? Urrggghhh! I thought I'd left seeing this sort of "craftsmanship" behind me when I moved away from using electric guitars. Mark
