sun tan lotion

[fastgraham]

Was out on my boat all day Friday, then had to sprint to a gig without a shower (gross I know)

Anyway, in the first set, the sun came out and so did the sweat!

The sun tan lotion from my arm dripped onto the face of my Martin and took all the finish off of my guitar. Gonna be a big $ to fix.

Just fyi

There is only 1 way to rock!

Sorry to hear man and thanks for the head's up.

Begs one question though; that stuff is supposed to be safe for the skin?!!

Good question. Here's a couple of articles that argue otherwise;

It's a genuine relic job.

Next thing you know, Nash Guitars, Gibson CS, & Fender CS will be using that as a relic technique.

A little wear never slowed Trigger.

I'd say keep the finish as is. It's a badge you've earned.
