MojoTooth said:got to thinking about this and couldn't find the answer online. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish or polyurethane finish?
same here, because I would be sending it to RS Guitar works for an aging, but if it is poly nothing they can/will do with it.GAD said:But I certainly would love to be proven wrong.
If it's that '97 in your siggie, it could be nitro since it's a Westerly, although Hideglue indicated recently in the "nitrous vs poly" thread that they DID install some poly shooting equipment in Westerly but didn't follow through on its use. Suggest sending him a pm to get an idea of when this occurred.MojoTooth said:same here, because I would be sending it to RS Guitar works for an aging, but if it is poly nothing they can/will do with it.GAD said:But I certainly would love to be proven wrong.

I think we would agree though, that a solvent test for NCL is the ONLY way to be certain? As opposed to "99% sure"...Walter Broes said:Alcohol will dissolve it too, and is a friendlier substance..

And you have every right to feel that way.MojoTooth said:i just love the look of relics, both naturally aged and tastefully/realistically aged on purpose.
i just know i will never play a guitar long enough for it to look like a vintage guild with a hundred thousand miles on it even if i play til the day i die! I got too late of a start for that :lol:adorshki said:And you have every right to feel that way.MojoTooth said:i just love the look of relics, both naturally aged and tastefully/realistically aged on purpose.
Even though I'm violently opposed to treating a guitar the way Charlie Sheen treats himself, it's your opinion and I'm stickin' to it! :lol:
I didn't think of it til now, but why DON'T you just lend it to Charlie Sheen for a year?MojoTooth said:i just know i will never play a guitar long enough for it to look like a vintage guild with a hundred thousand miles on it even if i play til the day i die!
