Relic\\u2019d guitars are nothing new in the world of electric instruments, but they\\u2019re relatively unheard of when it comes to acoustics. Pre-War Guitars \\u2013 the duo of Wes Lambe and Ben Maschal \\u2013 hopes to change that. The pair of veteran luthiers are creating guitars that tap into the vintage sound and feel of Martins and Gibsons of the 1930s and \\u201840s with hide glue, ultra-thin finishes and torrefied top woods. But they\\u2019re also adding scratches, dents and play wear to each of their new guitars\\xa0(they offer a variety of distress levels based on a customer\'s preference). On this week\\u2019s podcast, you can hear about how this company came together, how they\'re constructing these instruments\\xa0and why sometimes a little wear can result in a better sounding guitar.\\xa0
