I still don't get why people want to pay extra for a worn looking new guitar, but each to his own.

I agree completely. If my guitar gets worn because I play it so much, then fine.
But buying a "road worn" new guitar is a lot like buying a new pair of jeans with holes in them....which I pretty sure some people do as well.
Ric i would agree with that yet on the other hand I do like the looks of a worn out guitar, nice shiny guitars do not say Rock n Roll to me but the problem is I can't imagine ever getting a guitar I own to have that real worn out look without buying it that why, but I have no plans of ever buying one of those

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
I've done a relic job on one of my own. But that happened because I couldn't get the nitro to adhere to the damn kit body, and finally tossed the body out onto my patio. Later, I picked up the body, and thought the damage didn't look half bad, so gave it a couple more tosses to the slate for good measure, plus maybe a scrape or two. viola! relic Tele!

Marketing is a wonderful thing isn't it (NOT!)
Take junk food, soft drinks, cigarettes to name a few all bad for us but people HAVE to have it!!!!

Looking for people to jam with in Sydney Oz.......
here is a relic done the natural way.
what a mess, but it kind of looks cool.
I could see buying a Jimmy Page or David Gilmour signature guitar that was worn in like their actual guitars, but to just buy a brand new guitar that is road worn seems a bit silly to me.

Dogbite's relic looks like it was fished out of a lake. Maybe out of the Katrina flood, I've seen pics of Hammond organs and Leslies from Katrina that looked worse. It'd make an interesting wallhanger.

Isn't buying "road worn" kinda like cheating?
My issue is that if I'm paying $1000 I want it to be MINT! Not beat up!

Exactly.
