Actually, I’ll raise you a pair of “relic’d” charvels
Light relicing a strat or tele might add to the guitar, but this is like throwing your tarmac down the stairs hoping it’ll be vintage when it hits the bottom

Yeh, I'm not sure relicing works on these either.
After looking at loads of guitar's including lots of real vintage ones, the relicing sometimes looks really "off". On real vintage guitars there seems to be some pattern to how the wear forms; strumming and belt rash etc. But some of the relic'd guitars just look like they've been attacked with a sander, and there wasn't really much thought involved about which bits they attacked or why.
