Hello,
I just brought Gibson L-00 Koa from dealer and when I returned to home I looked into soundhole and found excess glue look like droplet. This is very much noticeable.
Here is the pic of it :
and a mark on the neck which is absolutely not scratch...
I emailed to customer service and he informed me that this glue excess can happen because there are unfinished. The white spot and the mark on the neck (he told me that it could be be buffing compound) can remove by using naphtha.
So I use it (Ronsonol) as he said, and the mark on the neck didn't come out and I also try this method on area between fingerboard and the top, which has same mark as the neck, and that's make some lacquer gone (discolor) :
My questions are 1. the other Gibson guitars have same problem as mine ? I have Seagull S6 and Martin 00-18, they don't have a single excess glue.
2. How can I remove this droplet excess glue ?
3. How can I fix that discolor problem on the area between fingerboard and the top ?
Thank you very much :)
Edit: 1. My country doesn't have return offer. There is only buy and no return. If you don't like it, only option is sell to someone else.
2.I forgot to put full size picture of it. My first Gibson guitar L-00 Koa 2016. Cosmetics issue but I still love her :)
