lindic Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi, I asked this question already in the german forum, but still no answers. I own a SG Faded Worn Cherry since one year and the back of the guitar loses color. That means, my jeans is always red after playing one or two hours. Does anyone know, how to avoid this? Oil, wax or something like that? Regards, Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Sounds like maybe you've warn through the thin finish on the back and the stain is coming off on yer clothes. You could cover the neck, sides and front, and spray some satin finish on the back to seal it. Use fine steel wool to feather the edges of the spray if you can see them.

Artie Owl Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 There's also a non-adhesive stick on pad you can put on the back of your guitar that I think can be purchased at most online music retailers, I think this one was mentioned here before, but maybe take a look at these; http://www.scratchpadusa.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Double check those scratch pads. A guy posted about using a pickguard similarly made with clear so he could still see the finish and flame of his nice LP. The thing reacted with the nitro finish under it and melted the finish. Yes. Like with guitar stand damage. Brutal. Might be okay with your faded finish, but do double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Nuts, I didn't know that, I figured it'd be some kind of non adhesive, but that's all I could think of to help the guy out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindic Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Thank you very much for the answers! I will try a plastic film made of PET which is transparent and much thinner and cheaper than the scratch pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Why not mask it off thoroughly, and spray the back with some clear acrylic epoxy, as someone has already mentioned? While enamel would just chip off quickly, epoxy would be there forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onlyme Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Forget messing with the axe and invest in a pair of black jeans - problem solved. Even more R&R if they are black leather and since you are in Germany, you can get a pair of black leather jeans good and cheap at your nearest Louis motorcycle accessory shop.

Kineman Karma Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I agree, don't touch that baby and work with it's self natural relicing and wear a crappy pair of jeans... it will be worth more at the end of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
