Höfner custom shop RELIC

This is an Antonio Stradivari "Hellier"1679 model replica that a friend of mine, an accomplished violin maker who studied and teaches in Italy, has made for his daughter.

BTW this is the guy that does all neck resets on my Höfners. He's the only one I trust with the job. And of course all the work on my old upright.



This is the real Hellier Strad -

Pilgrim:
Both are quite lovely!!

And when it comes to wear, I have never been able to understand why someone who owns a guitar or bass wouldn't take care of it like it was a valuable violin or cello.

Over years, wear does occur, but to my eye there is a very clear distinction between natural wear and carelessness or abuse.  And natural wear doesn't occur nearly as fast as some people who beat up their instruments would like you to believe.
