The Fender Jazz is a hand built Custom Shop with a heavy relic finish from the factory, just as well as I’m a bit clumsy…
I’m glad that reliced has been shown to be a past tense of relic - I was having visions of small insects 
infesting these marvellous instruments 
- having been specially re-introduced. I know heavy bands often looked unwashed, but I was thinking this was a step too far for authenticity… 
I had to google reliced to see if it was the correct term, I didn’t want teacher telling me off, I had enough of that at school. It still doesn’t look correct to me.

I had to google reliced - so did I never heard the word before, who knew owning an MX-5 could also be so educational

In days gone by a widow was described as a relict! Any connection…
Anyway old guitars - wonderful, if they still sound good, no matter how they are described.
Keep playing 
Every day I check the pickmypostcode.com free draw website.
One of the draws is the survey draw. This is the question they asked me today.
I’m tempted to say yes.

Not exactly a performance or even a band, but never the less a true adventure with my Morris, retold some five years after the actual event… Serendipitous Pit - YouTube

Very late to this one, and all I can offer you is yet more guitars. My '94 Les Paul Studio I’ve owned from new, and Yamaha FG acoustic. A slimmed-down collection from what I used to have, but it’s never been more than a hobby for my own enjoyment.

Always good to see instruments.
I’ve finally got my storage sorted! The recorders live in the Sra Brae bag and other instruments stored for easy access.
and bought a smaller harp - my other one is 39 strings and too much for me now, so up for sale- the new 22 string harp is magic!

That guitar looks so incongruous among the other instruments. 
Well you know Wild Thing and all that. 
Girls they want to have fun!
I really like the silver-grey and black flame Wesley.
It’s got a really nice rosewood finger board - good to play + a couple of Humbucker pickups and it’s a family piece - inherited from my nephew (Every good family has a mad Aunt!). Like it through my tiny Blackstar and the old Peavey.
I love the aesthetic of the incongruity - makes people think!
Hanging the instruments up saves floor space and means easy access for a quick riff or strum or compose or noodle or whatever… What is not to like!

Your new harp looks very nice!
After not playing for a while, I started to tune my harpsichords, the pitch had fallen by 5Hz due to the higher humidity… That’s a lot of strings to deal with! But when properly tuned they sound wonderful.

In 1992 bored with selling Volvo’s and with nothing else interesting on the horizon I followed Timothy Learys advice and after a couple of months I found myself at Womad in Reading with some college friends many of whom had moved from Nottingham to Bristol. Heavily under the influence of I know not what I met a girl who had a very musically talented younger brother in Bristol and after a couple of months picking grapes in France we ended up finiding a flat in Bristol.
We had only been there a couple of weeks when we decided to have a Jam party that turned out to be the mother of all Jam parties with 30 - 40 musicians of varying abilities playing guitars electric and acoustic, bass, keyboards, flutes, saxophone, blues harp, kazoo, and all manner of precusion instruments most notable for me was tabla, an instrument I had long held an interest in sparked by listening to Fateh Ali Kahn at college in Nottingham a decade or more earlier.
A year later I resolved to bring the pair of tabla above back from India and for the next six months I was taught by a lovely chap who played at the local Sikh temple. One day I went to collect him from town for another lesson and as we approached our flat we heard an amazing sound coming from my tabla in the front room.
When we got in we found my girl friend, who had only ever overheard my lessons sitting there ripping through everything I had struggled to learn over the previous six months as though she had been doing it her whole life !
This persuaded me that maybe tabla was probably never going to be my instrument, I paid for her to have my lessons for a couple of months until she returned to art college when she decided playing tabla properly was going to take more time than she could afford.
I found them in the loft just now while trying to declutter, if anyone would like to make me an offer for them including collection from WD3 in the price they will be yours. They still play but probably need reskinning.
Comes with bag and if I can find it a tuning hammer.

I hope you had good neighbours when you had the jam party, or deaf
Great story, love the sound of the tablas - and all that ta takataka ta - etc would make you an offer if i had more space and more time. Still coming to grips with my new harp and the mandolin!
Hope you find a buyer soon. 
I’m selling my big (36 string) Lever Harp.
