Not a six pack. A fifth of Jack. It's a two step process:
1) Give Chris bottle of Jack.
2) Give Chris guitar.
$45 for guitar, tutorial on how to relic, 2 days later = Pretty damn cool

Ever think about making water slide decals? They don't stick out like the vinyl ones. And if you don't have the right printer for it(I use a laser printer), I'm sure you can print them out at a Kinkos or something and still come out ahead on the savings.
Personally, I prefer to do it the old fashioned way - by loaning it to Chris.
I keep telling people that if they want their guitar "relic'd", give to me for six months. It'll look authentic.

ok here is some updates.. I did go a bit overboard but its to late to go back and change it sooo.. I had to try and make it more realistic...
Body: I smoothed down the areas where wood was exposed to make it look more like wear than just chuncks missing. I also took the paint to a flat look in areas of high traffic..
Pickguard: I aged this myself and tryed to keep under the strings cleaner and shiner since that area wont get as affected as the others.. I hate mint guards so I am going to have to try to perfect this more.
Accessories, I did the knobs in a super strong mixture of coffee and tea.. In a gatarade 32oz bottle I put enough coffee grounds to make about 4 pots. I put two bags of tea. Shake and let sit for 24 hrs.. Results are fantastic. I also dont like the look of all the parts being the same color.. So since im a smoker I have been putting my butts, in a seperate gatarade bottle filled with water, this is for the single coil covers. Its turning them a hell of alot faster.
Hardware: Nothing done at this moment
Neck: Took the logo off and tryed my best to make it look old as hell and beat to piss..
And finally I did some copper sheilding

Hey, I TRIED to make it to your bathroom, but, you see, by that point in the evening, I couldn't walk.
Memory foam, eh? No wonder I couldn't remember a goddamn thing the next morning.
