Just Strum Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I'll address the guitar robe. My feeling is a guitar is to be played and if it gets belt rash or a ding, so be it. I don't by any means mistreat my guitars and those that have bought guitars from me have commented on the great condition. However, I would not go and put some sort of terrycloth robe on my guitars. If I want to avoid getting it scratched when I'm not playing, I put it in its case. If I want to avoid it getting scratched while its out - I'm careful. I don't need to protects it from a guitar stand, other than knocking it over (the robe wouldn't help avoid that). A lot of dumb things out there - this is one of them. edit: oh, and it's being billed as the ultimate guitar protection system.

brad1 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 No axe gloves or fingerweights for me please. The only thing "bad ***" about them is you would have to be an *** to buy such bad equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to avoid belt rash - I wear my shirt untucked. I want to strengthen my fingers, I play more and harder chords. Another way is play an acoustic and then go back to the electric.

JRizZ Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Buckle rash never looked so attractive! If you are suffering from a bad case of buckle rash - then take the bloody belt off! Don't buy a guitar condom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Anyone who puts a freaking cloth 'rubber' on a guitar to try and protect it from dust while on a stand, does not deserve to own one IMO! Put your rubber somewhere else. I don't care if it's a Gibson, an Epi or whatever it is! *Unless John Lennon himself handed you the guitar prior to 1980 or someone of that iconic status...Play your guitar for crying out loud and go make music!!! *Means only exception to protection and STILL would NOT have a cloth contraceptive on it!

Revolver Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Even more so if he handed it to you after 1980. I figured someone would jump on that so I changed my mind about editing it, good eye! While we are on topic... I read that Yoko made the Gibson rep put on cotton gloves, when handling Lennons original LP Junior when he went to Japan to get specs for the RI. That I can see from a spiritual point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']I figured they would do that anyway. That's what they wear when they handle any other museum piece, isn't it? Anyway, I never gave my opinion. They are quite possibly the stupidest things I've seen all day, and I have a yard full of drunk middle-aged men right now. They don't even look good. The neck and headstock covers are even worse- with the body cover, you can at least play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] I hesitated out of respect, but we're talking about John here - the guy felt "standards" were confining. As for the cotton gloves, I would do that too. I would also put on a blindfold so I wouldn't see Yoko. Probably some earplugs too, just in case she got the urge to attempt to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
