TheTrooper Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Hi! I need something new to care my guitars I just wanted to buy this kit in a shop. But now I'm not sure is it safe for my guitars. The description states that is designed for old guitars with nitro cellulose finishes. I have two guitars. One is Epiphone Thunderhorse Explorer and second which I use less often is Charvel CX390. I hardly found one specification for my explorer that states that actually it has nitrocellulose finishes so as I understand I can safely use this kit. Here is it: https://www.rainbowguitars.com/guitar/epiphone/thunderhorse-explorer-ltd-edition/EDTHSBNH3/GB But what about my Charvel? and what about other guitars? Are there any contradictions? Thnx for help Edited October 9, 2021 by TheTrooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Generally - Guitars usually have nitro or poly or some kind of varnish finishes. Nitro is the most delicate one which can be easily ruined. The other types are much harder-wearing and not too different from wood furniture finishes. However alcohol or abrasive-based cleaners should not be used on any of these finishes IMO. It may be ok on a dirty (unvarnished) fretboard though. Forum members please correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
