Hi All, I thought some people might like to see how a modern (2016) guitar can age as I was super curious about this when I bought mine. The hardwear was all changed from chrome to nickle pretty soon after I got it. It's been played pretty much every day and hung on a wall with exposure to a reasonable amount of direct light. It has all sorts of dings on it and the laquer and hardwear is pretty dull. It started out as a 2016 LP Traditional in Ice Tea but has had everything apart from the tuners changed for vintage correct stuff - yes I know some people will think this is a bit dumb but it was kinda 'meh' out of the box and has a great deal of sentimental value (long story) so I could never sell it and get a custom shop guitar instead. Anyway, the first picture was taken yesterday and the second was taken moments after I unboxed it in 2016. The light in the second picture is a bit darker but I have a lot of other pictures from when it was brand new and it's an accurate representation of the colour.
