Hi,

Whats the best way to reproduce heritage cherry on a gibson sg?

I assume the dye is added to the laquer??

thanks.

Hi,

how do I finish an SG in heritage cherry?

Is the dye mixed with the laquer or is the wood sealed first or what?

I`ve tried applying the dye on a scrap piece of mahogany but it goes brown??

any advice gratefully received.

Hi,

I stumbled across this brilliant site a couple of weeks ago and it must be said at this stage that  I am an enthusiastic amateur who has fixed up and customised guitars for myself and my fellow musicians, predominantly from the hardware and electrics side, for the past 25/30 years but I have no luthier skills (yet  )

My problem is this.  I have a beautiful (and previously) mint Tobacco S/B Les paul Standard that I bought from new in the 70s which for a number of reasons hasn't been played for the past 5 years and has been stored in its foam-lined flightcase.  To my horror, the plasticer has leached from the foam stipples and has marked the top, which I have polished out the worst of, but the main problem now is that the back of the neck is tacky to the touch.  This makes it a bitch to play as the more you sweat the worse it gets during a playing session.

What can I do?  As I see it I could  have the guitar refinished or the just the neck stripped and either refinished or tung oiled.  Am I right in thinking that to shoot another coat of nitro over the whole lot won't solve the problem - the plasticiser will still leach through?

Has anyone had a similar problem and does anyone on the board have any thoughts on how to solve this.

Many thanks - I will be pathetically grateful for any suggestions.

Matt

PS I know it was stupid to leave it in the flight case but hindsight is a wonderful thing
