Killing Is Heroism Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I was wanting to know some ways to care for this Gibson SG Special Faded I have...I've just been wiping it down with one of those microfiber(?) cotton clothes after playing. I was wondering if I should use any sort of polish or whatever on it to keep it in good shape. Also, I heard that the material that they use on guitar stands is harmful to the finish? Is that true?
StijnV Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Hi There ! It is the best to simply only wipe the finish with a 100% cotton cloth and only use a bit ! of our pump polish when the finish is really dirty, otherwise you will make the finish shiny again. Our pump polish product code is AIGG-910: Pump Polish: http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Divisions/Gibson%20Gear/Accessories/Instrument%20Care%20Products/ It can be bought through any of our authorized dealers. We use nitrocellulose lacquer for our Gibson guitars, which will be eaten away when the guitar is put on a rubber guitar stand. You can however padd the guitar stand with 100% cotton cloths. Only Hercules guitar stands/hangers are suitable for our Gibson guitars without modifying/adding or padding them with cotton cloths: http://www.herculesstands.com/index.html If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

I've yet to put my new SG on any stand as I take the time to remove the straps and lay it in the case. Now I know what to do. Thanks!!
