True, that!
Hey, Christopher! Thanks for this and for your comments on my post from earlier today. I remember sharing some conversation with you a number of years ago here about putting mics on guitars and you were incredibly generous with your time and very helpful to me. It’s great to back on the forum, and to see you are still here!Depending on what environment you might be subjecting your guitar to...
If I was not looking to refinish the top, but rather to simply protect it from damage, I would use a CA glue, such as GluBoost (their Fill n Finish products). It is a bit tedious to apply, scrape (or sand), and buff, but its protection will outlast any of us.
If you went this route, I would select the more viscous, non-wicking products (not the Ultra-Thin). Very thin, wicking CA glue will want to soak into the Spruce of the soundboard beneath the lacquer. While not a problem, per se, it can produce undesirable visual results.
I routinely use these products for crack repair, drop-filling dents and dings, pore filling, and even complete finishing. They are quite remarkable.
It would be a different story if it was an open pore wood, like mahogany, and somthing exposed to a lot of sweat/oil , like a neck. Apparently Clapton's 'fool' SG had the paint removed from the neck, and it deteriorated substantially.I’d leave it alone. Keep in mind the entire inside of the guitar is unfinished. It’ll be fine.
Fond memories, indeed! It is nice to be here, and even nicer to find you here again, Shawn.Hey, Christopher! Thanks for this and for your comments on my post from earlier today.
