LarryUK Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I won a mint sunburst Melody Maker on eBay tonight. Nice and cheap. Off to see a Les Paul tomorrow. Christmas does come early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Gongratz. When I read the topic, I though you almost got a new guitar But now I see that you got a guitar that's almost new! \:D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Les Paul studio lite. This one. I'm off soon to have a look. 18 years old. So, it should be played in by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well. I bought it. Only £470($743). Which is good by UK money. Only niggle is where (here we go again) it's been on a wall hanger and it's marked the sides of the headstock. Apart from that it could do with a polish. What will get surface scratches out? Picking the Melody maker up on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 It looks like someone took a heat gun to the side of the headstock Looks like it was on a metal hanger. My ES-125T has the same thing but not that...bubbely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 It's both sides of the headstock. He said it was hanging on the wall in summer time. He went to get it off and it was stuck. I may get it painted out. What would you use for polishing scratches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 That's all USA stuff. I've just tried a product called 'peek' it's a fine metal/plastic polish. It did the job a treat. Then I just polished as normal. All clean. I took the covers off the back and I'd say that's the first time off since leaving the factory. Nice. All original.

BigKahune Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 . Looks like the nitro reacted with a rubber/foam padded wall hanger. Is the headstock finish delaminating/peeling on the front or is that some checking. Good luck with the repairs to the finish. I really like the black metal on that finish color. Looks great. Congrats. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 It's just checking. Some on the body too. Nice and natural. It's Ebony fret board is great. It's really smooth to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
