GStrachan Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hi guys, I’ve just noticed some discolouration on my SJ-200. The inlay has always had this strange tinge to it since new but it suddenly seems to be spreading! Anybody ever seen anything like this before?

kidblast Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Looks like gasing, caused from things in the case? Add this thread / post in the acoustic forum. You will get more hits for this there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GStrachan Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Thanks kidblast, I’ll post it in acoustic too. I don’t keep anything nasty in the case, just a capo & and a few plectrums! As I said the inlay has had this yellow tinge to it since I bought it new so maybe it’s been something it came into contact with at the dealers, unfortunately they went bust so no chance of getting in contact with them now!

Sometimes, it's just the materials in the case, or some people have even citing the glue that's used inside the case too. There are people on this forum and tend to dwell in the acoustic forum that are far more knowledgeable about the causes I'll follow this in the other forum!!

Larsongs Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Are you a Smoker? I've been told that the yellowing of Guitars is partly caused by smoke filled environments. I don't know if that's true but..... i think yours looks Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmonics101 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Appears like an impression on the head stock. Is there something on the upper portion of the case that is laying on top of the head stock when being stored? That appears to be a shadow on the head plate or maybe it's a photography quirk. The darker shade in the form of a trapezoid is pretty strange, It sounds like the OP is the original owner? If so, I'd definitely get Gibson's opinion in this situation.

Twang Gang Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I have seen similar discoloration on older guitars. Not sure what causes it, but seems to appear on the binding usually and may just be a function of the plastic ageing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask whether the guitar was a smoker. Yes I have seen this on older guitars though less localised. I also think it looks pretty good.

duane v Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Some pay $$$$$ for that type of discoloration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Vet. Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I have a LG-2 that was made in late 2014, I bought it in 2015 and the binding has changed color from a white to tint similar to that. Also it appears the spruce top has gotten darker as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonics101 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 What is the color of the padding inside the guitar case? I've read there can be some bleeding sometime, but just in one area seems unlikely. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmonics101 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 That must of sort of stunk. I dunno though, maybe the pink binding grew on you? H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
