Rabs Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 What colour is the fluffy stuff inside the case for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Looks like plating worn off? Which would be weird. I would ask the seller. All I know is it's not going to turn the E string gay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is it's not going to turn the E string gay. I was thinking the same thing, the plating worn off. Perhaps the previous owner used it as a palm rest. As far as the E string... it's female.

kidblast Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) yea I think is really is probably patina from plating wear. Same kind of wear you'll see on many 80s era Epiphones Edited July 31, 2022 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I can't imagine the color of the metal under the plating as naturally being pink. And considering skin oils or oxidation I'd figure some other color would show. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Looks a bit like Copaslip, but I've never known that used on a guitar before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must nickel then right? I've never seen it on chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Some people have acidic sweat that is deadly. Usually after my son plays my guitar I have to change strings a day of two later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Grove had to change strings mid gig sometimes. Those players have no choice but use coated strings all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
