<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 1949713, member: 53226&quot;]There is a craze right now for &quot;Road Worn&quot; guitars.&nbsp; These are brand new guitars that are artificially aged to look like they are beaten up and have not been taken care of.&nbsp; They have dents, dings, places where it looks like the paint has been worn off, dirty looking chrome, etc.&nbsp; I know, I don&#039;t get it either.&nbsp; Could this fad cross over into coin collecting?&nbsp; The mint could artifically age them until they look like they&#039;ve been in circulation for 100 years.&nbsp; I certainly wouldn&#039;t be interested in them (although I do love real circulated coins) but some collectors might like them.&nbsp; How would they do it?&nbsp; They could put them in a cylinder and crash a bunch of coins together, or maybe dip them in some sort of chemical to give them an aged look.&nbsp; This would be silly but I never thought the &quot;Road Worn&quot; guitars would be such high sellers.&nbsp; The &quot;Road Worn&quot; guitars are more expensive than the regular mint condition guitars in many cases.&nbsp; Could you see the mint doing something like this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a picture of a Road Worn Fender Telecaster in Candy Apple Red.&nbsp; I have the exact same guitar, but it&#039;s not a Road Worn.&nbsp; It&#039;s a Fender Standard Telecaster and it has metallic Candy Apple Red paint with a white pickguard and maple fretboard, just like this one, but it&#039;s a whole lot prettier.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/fendertelecaster-296392305463420100_zpse2fd1d0d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
