Versatile Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 IMX nitro becomes vintage when stained and dulled a bit with use It will absorb colour from clothing dyes etc As well as perspiration and skin oils So once the process starts, there is little point in attempting to turn the clock back IMO....

pfox14 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Sounds like normal wear & tear. Makes the guitar more vintage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Like you, I like my guitars to look new. I never intend to sell them, but I like to know that if I need to, they will bring more if they are in better condition. The only way that I have been able to get rid of NC blushing from sweat is by repeated use of guitar polish, and by covering the area exposed to my arm with a cloth (when possible) or wearing a long sleeved shirt. This, and poor impact/scratch resistance, is why I dislike NC lacquers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Rayba Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi, I think the ebony finish seems to stain more than the others! I have a 2005 ES-335 ebony and have the same problem. I also have two much older ES guitars in the cherry finish and the stain is not as noticeable as on the ebony finish guitar. Either the black shows it more, or the finishes back in the day were better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Step 1: Virtuoso Cleaner Step 2: Virtuoso Polish Step 3: Never loan out a guitar "Yes" to all of the above. When playing, I wear a long-sleeve cotton T-shirt (over another regular T-shirt so that the long sleeve shirt is always dry, and never has deodorant, skin cream, etc on it).
