If someone buys an old guitar with battle scars that aren't of their own doing, are they also "lying" in your mind? I don't think anyone who buys relic guitars is going around trying to convince people of their merits as a guitarist or that they caused every mark on the guitar. Most like the way they look. Many like the way they feel already broken in, and that they sound like old guitars that would be otherwise unobtainable due to the cost. At the end of the day we're just talking about guitars, it's not that serious.
