What is "distressed" mandolin? Thanks for any information you can share on this subject.

New instrument, made to look old and beat-up. If done well it makes a mando look vintage. If done poorly, it makes a mando look like a dog's dinner.
Alternate definition - a mandolin that becomes distressed at discovering that a hack like me purchased it...
An expensive mandolin, originally purchased with a home equity line of credit, that is now available secondhand at a greatly reduced price because it must be sold quickly.

Distressed mandolin = reliced guitar = antiqued violin...
Google "reliced guitar" and you'll get the idea of what a distressed mandolin might be....

"Distress", obviously, is the opposite of Relief.
"Relief": The feeling when you realize that the neck of your new $3,000 mandolin is supposed to be bent!

"Then one day we weren't as young as before
Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
