Can Zach take this Import Mike McCready Fender Strat and turn it from Road Worn to Custom Shop? In part one of the latest installment of Mythos Mods, Zach sets out to age the plastic and metal parts on this guitar. All of this is just for fun and not a tutorial or guide, and do not attempt if you are not comfortable using the methods shown in this video as you can very quickly damage your guitar.
