Finding an affordable vintage guitar is a near impossibility. Every now and then you hear a story of someone walking into a pawnshop or garage sale and finding that one stellar guitar: the guitar whose battle scars could tell a thousand stories. In this tutorial, guitar luthier Steve Soest will walk you through the steps that will transform your guitar from an ordinary axe into a relic-ed masterpiece. Steve will show you how to etch, stain, create dings, bumps, rust, cracks, and even cigarette burns that will result in your guitar catching the "vibe" of a vintage guitar.
