capmaster Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 LOL...well, I wish I was prolific enough, on the fingerboard, to "Smoke" it! But, I just do what I can! CB Same here. Anyway, I guess that "our" way of playing won't make board and frets go up in smoke that fast. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkphiloyd Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 To me it smells like Carmex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphic Autist Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Was just playing my month-old Flying V 120…An hour later and my hands have the scent from the guitar. And it DOES kinda smell like Carmex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it DOES kinda smell like Carmex! Don't know Carmex lip balm in person, but it takes just a few minutes until my left hand smells like Gibson when playing a three-year-old one. My right hand may need more than a hour for that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James1234 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It is definitely 100% the case and not the guitar. I bought a brand new Gibson case and it came smelling like the glorious delicious vanilla smell that it should have. They must add the scent to the case to hide the chemical / glue smells. There you have it folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerb Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 The new SG that I got a couple of days ago has the same smell. I never store my guitars in their cases, they are just for transport. The case has been left open on the spare couch for a few days and doesn't give away any kind of smell anymore, the guitar does though. Another interesting thing I discovered is that my t-shirts with rubber prints stick to the SG but not to other guitars. Or maybe the SG just tries to glue itself to me LOL!

Wmachine Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I've read quite a few posts and threads about this over the years about this. And the short answer is that I've been able to conclude the answer is both, to some degree. Both the (some at least) cases and the USA guitars have a scent. "Both" also explains why the debate has raged on for so many years. That's why I roll my eyes when someone has "irrefutable proof" that it is one and not the other. "There you have it, folks!"
