Motherofpearl Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hey guys I have had 2 gibsons from 1993 both had the same smell and both were closet specials. Anyone else notice this smell. It's the case I'm sure of it because when I leave my guitar out it goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponty Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yes- I have two of theses for my 45s.They are currently in the closet , as I use Hiscox cases for the guitars. Do they smell? You bet! Opening these cases still reminds me of the first day I opened them 20 years ago. Wonderful! What is it? Not sure. I thought it may have been Glue, Nitro guitars, faux pink fur, wood.

Gruffchris Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hey bud, That J-30 I got doesn't smell as nice as the new one. It's from 1990, there's a little pong, don't know if it's the case or the guitar though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherofpearl Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Ya must be something they used in the cases back then. Because I've had 2 that smell exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Generally what you smell is the adhesive used to glue down the lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
