I lick all of my guitars so no one else will play them.

I actually did it a few times when I had a stomach bug so bad that it literally made no sense to get off the toilet. I'd already read every shampoo and conditioner bottle a hundred times over. So I grabbed a guitar to play (this was before iPhones).

I don't really trust myself to ding my guitar, so I have a professional preding it for me. Trust me, it's worth the fee to have them do it for you the first time, and you can watch them so you know how to ding it properly yourself next time.

It's better than one of my others, which the previous owner had put a vine of life inlay sticker all down the fretboard on. on moonlit nights, you can still see the ghost... thats a feature. olfactory maintenance indicator

Guitars earn scars like humans do. The deliberate ones just suck. Truly accidental rocking out while drunk ones are completely acceptable. But forcing it on there isn't any different to an angsty teen carefully cutting shallow scars in themselves imo

"I like my girls with big tits, my wheels chrome, and my guitars glossy! That's just how we roll. If you think my guitar's too glossy, then just don't look!" But nah, dirty is way more cool. The Dead Kennedys bass is my favorite.

People mad that I ding up new stuff so I never have that "oh poo poo I just marked up my new pretty ______" feeling. Hell I do it to my laptop and phone. And I just mean a small, tiny mark so then I don't have anything "perfect" to ruin. Then again I'm so clumsy I'll probably smack my guitar into something within a week anyway. It happened with every guitar I got this year.

You guys are all dumb. A nice relic job can really improve a guitar's look. But it's gotta be subtle. http://www.bas-extravaganza.nl/?page=bassen&BassenID=18

I hope that this literally was some guy who smashed his bass at a gig, and then decided to see if it was possible to salvage it. Otherwise this person either made the coolest bass in the world or the single worst instrument inflicted on humanity.

SaNChEzZ posted:What's the consensus on rondomusic? They've got a baritone Les Paul knockoff for under $150, was thinking about picking it up. At the end of the day if it's terrible it might look good on the wall, right? I have an Agile septor 727 which is basically the archetypal highschool no-money bedroom djentlord axe and it's actually really good, solid construction and sounds really good too. I'm not sure how good the cheaper Douglas/SX stuff is, I think it's a different brand/factory

I've got a friend who's simply not allowed to play my guitars because his hands will destroy strings in a couple hours of playing. He tries everything, washing his hands before playing and wiping them down after. His hands just produce funk at an alarming rate, they're like a kindergardener who's been digging in the trash.

I'd guess he has more oxidants in his sweat than usual. Tell him to try some vitamin E oil or lotion, before playing, and see if it helps.

Some people just seem to have caustic sweat or something. I put a brand new set of strings of my acoustic last year and let a friend borrow it for a song at a guitar camp, when he handed it back to me it was like the strings had aged 6 months in five minutes.

Google Translate posted:Does not it occur to you on MTV very men who play metal wear clothes that you would not wish a wanderer in the Paris metro, but with the most expensive guitars, which are beautiful high gloss polished. This can not be. I feel a moral obligation to do here something about it. Provide a tool which suits the overall look and feel of the strap. Who in the gently caress is the target market here? Punk dads?

Man, some of you would poo poo yourselves if you saw my acoustic. It's been played many hours every day for 10 years, and rarely cleaned. It literally cannot be polished to a shine anymore, because the top is just so beaten up and abraded. It looks pretty awesome in person, but unfortunately, the natural finish combined with the fact that it's billions and billions of little nicks doesn't translate very well to photography. You can see where my pick has shredded the wood around the soundhole, though. It doesn't just look like it gets paper-thin near the middle there, it's that thin. The other side of the top is in a little better shape, but not much. Too many hours of smoking weed and playing bluegrass. [edit] Also notice the nice brown patina just south of the scratchplate. That's funky tone goo, right there.

When I first started playing guitar it never occurred to me that when I change strings I should wipe down the fret board until someone mentioned it to me after about a year. Since it's maple there are still some minor stains 13 years later from that, but not once did it look that bad.
