Pieter Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Hi, I have recently notice some weird stains on my Gibson SG which i can't see to get rid of, I cleaned my guitar with Dunlop but no luck on removing. The stains are only visible from some angles. but i still would like to get it off (its hard to make a picture of, but you can definitely some weird disruptive spots) Link to pictures:https://ibb.co/Z2mNPWphttps://ibb.co/vcgwcgfhttps://ibb.co/DfNJjwFhttps://ibb.co/RSMW7z1 Edited December 29, 2020 by Pieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Third picture shows what looks to be moisture, condensation, under the lacquer. No amount of polish and cleaning will get that, it is under the clearcoat/stain. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 So this means that there is probably no way to get rid of the moisture, condensation? That's a bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Because that's what the picture looks like to me doesn't mean it is that, keep that in mind. How old is this thing? Do you take it out and gig it? If so, is that haze, for lack of a better word, always there, or will it go away if it sits on the stand in the living room for a day or two? rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 It's pretty old already, 2014. Unfortunately noticed it a few weeks back. The guitar is hanging my room for at least 5 years, but it still being played and cleaned. So I think it will be some kind of liquid that has damaged the clean coat. Not very noticeable only a shame for the wood. Still plays awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow1120 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 How does it feel when you rub your finger lightly across the stain area? Is it tacky or gummy? What about the rest of the guitar? Is it tacky and course feeling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Nope, its not tacky or gummy at all, just feels like the rest of the guitar. i think I will bring it to one of the closest Gibson dealers nearby and let them look at it.

No idea what would cause that, does seem like it's under the clear coat, hard to tell with the picks what's reflection and what's the problem. not that I'm expert on the matter, but I would opine that moisture was introduced before that clear coat was put on. Not that gibson warranties the finish (never have, never will), but I'm almost of the mind that's a factory thing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
