Sounds like a market opportunity: pre-distressed guitars to go with your pre-distressed jeans. :P

Pre-distressed guitars are sold all the time as "relics". Both Fender and Gibson do it. Their custom shop will relic them to match a particularly famous one or generally.

I would link to a source, but they are all pretty much just advertisements. Your favorite search engine could find them.

Here's one, just for the sake of completeness:

I'm guessing it won't make me play like Jaco. ;-)

A close friend of mine made https://www.tonerite.com/ to distress your own guitars. I know it's done well.
All of this marketing is giving me pre-distressed wrinkles in my pre-distressed face and receding my pre-distressed hairline.
