I was in the market for a new guitar a few months ago and Fender had this Vintera strat in a really beautiful Daphne blue, but it's just got loads of stupid fucking holes and abrasions sanded in it, infuriating

They can look good but it's a fine line - replicating the UV fading of early Fender metallic colors mostly.
My local Guitar Center has a room of Fender Custom Shop relics and they're all terrible, not even just ugly but they don't look particularly well done compared to some small shops, mixed with tacky appointments like gold hardware and gaudy flame maple necks

I’m pretty intrigued by the new Jason Isbell tele - MIM, supposedly chunky neck, “road worn” nitro finish... not out yet so we’ll see but if the neck’s right and the wear’s not awful this could be my jam

The Chrissie Hynde Road Worn looks cool too.
They did a '50s Road Worn in purple that I saw at Guitar Center before the pandemic - the neck was pretty nice, definitely on the thicc side compared to the '60s C on my Jazzmaster.

I find signature models offputting for reasons I can't fully justify, even though the guitars themselves are sometimes quite good.
― mirostones, Sunday, 11 April 2021 20:39 (three years ago) link
One signature model that I've always been a little bemused by is Squier's Simon Neil strat, which stuck around for a few years. It's actually a great shade of Fiesta Red, but every time I see one, it reminds me that I've still never heard Biffy Clyro.

I hate when they even put the signatures on the front of the headstock. Should be on the neckplate if anything.

Rory Gallagher, who rode a motorcycle named 'Authenticity', would surely have approved of this relic oh wait no he probably wouldn't...Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster
How about the Jason Smith Builder Select Garage Mod Stratocaster? 'Garage mod' in the sense that it looks like its been knocking around in a garage for a few years.
Alternatively, do you want a guitar that looks like it's been stored in a basement that flooded? Try one of the Fender Custom Shop Super Heavy Relics.https://images.guitarguitar.co.uk/cdn/large/170/200918362198025-6352252b_03.jpg?h=500&maxwidth=770&scale=canvas&bg=ffffff&quality=70

I read something a long time ago that claimed that Gallagher actually 'reliced' his own guitar - there's the story about it being stolen and found in a ditch but that didn't actually do much damage and he stripped it himself in the late '60s.
