leitaozord Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hey guys. Today I was clean my epi, and I see this on the paint. It's see only on some angles. When I pass my hand on it, I don't feel nothing different. So I don't know if this come with the guitar and I never see before, or it was caused for me. Look for the pics, and you will see that in some pictures it's not visible, only in 2. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkolo Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'm not surprised, I have an Epiphone Les Paul Standard that was virtually flawless for years, then all of a sudden it was like sap came out of the wood. Now there's a whitish mark under the finish, you can't feel it but it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 It's hidden and won't affect tone............There's many potential causes...........I wouldn't worry about it........ It's not as bad as the, um, er, flaws in one of my Gibson SG pictured below........ ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leitaozord Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 But, if it's under the polish, why it's happen? It's a problem in the wood. humidity that causes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 But, if it's under the polish, why it's happen? It's a problem in the wood. humidity that causes this? I have seen similar issues on Epiphone headstocks. Keep in mind that poly is not a breathable material, so moisture can cloud the finish if the wood was not sufficiently aged, or has a pocket of moisture within.

Dennis G Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I have a similar "cloudy" spot on the back of my natural Epi Dot. Depending on how the light is hitting the guitar, you see it or you don't. It hasn't gotten any larger in the few years I've owned it, and it's on the back so it's not like it's a glaring flaw for all to see. Doesn't bother me. Sorry, no pix (see, I'm really not that bothered) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
