Agreed. The term "relic'd" with the apostrophe is awkward, at best. I assume this is to avoid using "reliced", which would have "lice" as its root word. (although I've seen it used, as well) Probably less awkward when spoken than if you have to write it....
In any case, the Collings is not particularly attractive or effective in its use of this "technique", IMHO. As previously stated, I have also seen examples of electric guitars that were more "authentic" looking.
