narc999 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hello Everyone, I had a tremendous amount of GAS and just got an EPI IBJL Casino (Natural). THat guitar is so nice and clean. My general questions is with regards to the lacquer. The lacquer on this particular casino is so fine, I can feel the lines of the wood underneath. Is that typical? I picked up the natural casino and that had a helluvva lot more lacquer on it. Just wondering if this was typical and are there any special care instructions for this guitar? In addtion how many IBJL casino players put the pickguard back on? I was thinking about it. -NARCO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smips65 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 The finish on a IBJL is supposed to be very thin, given the namesake. The story was he had his stripped, and a very thin coat applied to affect the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narc999 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yea... I was just surprised that they were reproing it that way. Probably makes the guitar more susceptible to humidity or lack there of. Let me know if you guys heard any special care instructions. THanks, NARCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarpBoy Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Probably makes the guitar more susceptible to humidity or lack there of. The whole inside of your guitar is completely unfinished, so I wouldn't worry about negative effects of humidity because the topcoat is thin. Plywood is pretty stable in any case. You shouldn't have any problems. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougg330 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Another question along these lines: is the finish on the IBJL Casino polyester, nitro, or something else altogether? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smips65 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm not 100% sure, but I think I read that it's poly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
