darktrader Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hello everyone, I have a j45 and I always seem to get some type of white film on the edge of the guitar. My guess its hand an arm sweat. Can you give me a good cleaner or anything I should do to get it off? I dont want to hurt the finish so I am shy to do anyting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarstrummer Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Try a moist, soft cloth. If you need something more abrasive, you might try Petros Finish Restorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One note, do NOT use a cloth that has been washed with any type of fabric softner as it tends to transfer the cloudy residue on the guitar. If water doesn't do the trick, try Naptha (lighter fluid). It is supposed to work great at getting almost anything off the guitar finish, but I have never had to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look similar but the AJ has different fret markers with the arrows <-> type thing and different bracing similar to the original AJ's. It is a great guitar. My Taylor is a 1993 612C that I bought new and it has been my #1 for years. I have to say the Gibby has been getting most of the playing time lately though. I have been working on a song I heard on the TV show "Scrubs" called "My Tuscaloosa Heart". Here is a short clip from youtube. There is a 2nd verse that you can also find somewhere on youtube. It is a really fun little blues ditty and it sounds awesome on the AJ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnweq0d0Y8Q&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if it were a Gibson, that is one wife I wouldn't wanna be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
