jimmypage1stfan Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 ive had a gibson les paul 1958 historic custom in cherry burst since 2004 (about 5 years old).. and the thing is getting real worn. on the back near the top by the toggle switch its warn to the wood on the edge. on the top by where your arm goes and the bottom where your leg would go when sitting down and playing its real faded like the iced tea color. Sure my guitar has a fair share of dents, nothing major, all in lacquer only. But my question is should it be wearing out this fast? is it normal? i do play a lot but i have 7 other guitars i use all the time.. is there anyway to refinish it, and how much do you think it would cost? thanks!
jimmypage1stfan Posted December 29, 2008 Author Posted December 29, 2008 yes, mine isnt a VOS though, its the one before the VOS came out. I was just wondering if it is normal for it to fade that much in 5 years... and if it is possible to maybe get it relaquered.. i mean its worn all the into the wood on the back at the top. I know that's what happens to Les Pauls over time, but 5 years is way sooner than i expected considering i baby the thing so much..
