Don't get me wrong. I have guitars that are beat to hell that I love the look of, but they got like that the old fashioned way...THEY EARNED IT! If I'm going to shell out the bucks that manufacturers like Gibson, and Fender are charging for new guitars, the last thing I want is some joker at the factory assaulting it with chains and blow torches to make it look used.

AMEN!!!

Factory distressed!
It's like buying jeans that someone else wore out.
We had a real nice Beretta single action .45 pistol in our shop.
It had been scratched up so badly no one would but it.
It was factory new.
It is just stupid.
