I have nothing against New "Relicing".

It's just a type of finish option on a new instrument.

I do prefer finding guitars/basses that have "Natural" wear from years of playing.

If you look hard enough, you can find used instruments that have been lovingly bruised and scarred from playing use.

I found my '74 Fender Jazz bass in a pawnshop a few years ago for $59.95.

I personally think it looks AMAZING because the wear doesn't look fake.

Here's some pics:
