bexpet Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Over the last few months, I've noticed a strange phenomenon happening on my 1968 Dove that worries me. It's always been stored in its original hard case and is humidified in winter. When I first noticed it, I thought it was just a dull scuff kind of thing. I polished the area and thought that was the end of it. Then today, while doing my weekly refill of the humidifying device, I noticed it was worse. Do I need to remove the pickguard to spare the guitar? Looking for advice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) I would stop the humidifying for a month or 2 as it might be moisture-related. If you can post pics and repost this thread (or a new one like it) in the acoustic section you should get some knowledgeable answers. Best wishes.

I went snowmobiling with a guy that kept complaining that his helmet's new visor won't clean. I looked and it and it still had the protective plastic on! He rode it for 2 days like that.
