ChanMan Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yes on nitro. I have a spot on my mandolin where the leather strap laid against it. Something in the finish or dye on the leather, I think. I've never had an issue with my poly finished guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Good to know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 According to the Gibson little booklet that comes in the case yes, leather can damage the finish. In my case my Gibsons are getting worn spots around the strap knobs, I guess I should add cotton to the ends of my leather strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 it can if you put metal hooks at the end and beat it on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Did you leave your leather chaps lying on top of your guitar again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Poly finishes will withstand whatever you throw at them Nitro won't. Now would you guys be nice and remind me why TF we like nitro so much? (aside from the smell... for some of us the smell alone isn't enough of a reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65 Casino Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I understand it can hurt nitro, especially when it has a buckle attached to it. Gives it a bad rash of sorts. Chaps...not going there. Hmmm... certain visuals just give me the heebie jeebies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Did you leave your leather chaps lying on top of your guitar again? You mean the assless pair with rhinestones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
