fuser Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 - actually thats a good name for a band! Anyway, I have a VOS R8 which has started to bug me - where my right arm comes over the guitar and brushes on the body, the binding has picked up some black dye from my shirt. Not only that, there is a darker patch on the back where the guitar rests against me. Has the nitro 'soaked' up the dye? More to the point, does anyone please know how to remove it?? Many thanks in advance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S t e v e Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 virtuoso cleaner should remove it, look at my thread in the lounge it incl before and after pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuser Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Wow - thanks for your quick reply - the results certainly look good! I notice you are in the UK - did you order yours from the US or is there a UK stockist? I've also emailed Gibson to see what they have to say about the problem - a £2500 guitar should not really be discolouring so easily just by being played by someone wearing a black jumper!

Cheers no prob, look forward to the pics.... p.s i cant imagine that the dye in your shirt could be strong enough to penetrate the cellulose lacquar, i reckon a good rub with the virtuoso cleaner will sort this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuser Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi there - I ordered it direct from the manufacturer: http://www.virtuosopolish.com/ Cost £20 including postage for a bottle of the cleaner and bottle of the polish. They've already despatched it and given me a tracking number so that's very good service so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
