I spent my money!

I walked into Cintioli's just to look and ended up walking out with a Westerly D-40 that had been hanging on the wall since 1999.

Good- It's a feather, it plays like polyunsaturated corn oil, and it makes me sound good to myself (no mean feat!)

Bad- After I got it home, I noticed that the lacquer on both sides of the neck had been eaten away by the rubber hooks it had been hanging on. I got a refund, but only because they couldn't repair it at the store. Off to the luthier's.

They assumed that I wanted to return it, but I couldn't.

My G-37s got lacquer damage on the headstock from wall hooks. I don't hear it at all! Nice score... enjoy! Dave

Oddly enough, the groupies don't spend much time looking at me either.

You could always paint it green - that would hide the marks :mrgreen:

Yeah, I could do that, but the guitar would hide it. :?

What would be the point?

My bad Default - didn't mean you were doing a 'Flea' - I meant you could paint your new Guitar green to hide the rubber marks on the neck 'Course, if you did paint something else green, the groupies might look at you :mrgreen:

Excellent!!! Small repair for a good luthier... Congrats...

Congrats, Steve! One of these days I'll wise up and get a Guild acoustic! A classic D-25 or D-40 are also high on my list. And the finish issues are just part of its personality now--your axe.
