I'd use no less than SPF 30, or it might get sunburn.
Ahh no worries, I'll just snip some aloe from the yard and rub it right on, this guitar is gonna be extra tuff if it spends any more time with me in this Florida weather!
I am considering just selling it and picking up a color that I like more instead of risking the potential to cause damage to this axe. Also, after having a few models with birds, I feel like that is one of the reasons why I feel as though something is just off about this guitar. The playability and the sounds I get are great, but there's something about the birds that really draws me in too...I know I'm not alone here!
Also when I compare it to my santana, there's just really something funky about the edges of the top surface of the neck. My santana has binding on the edges of the neck, whereas my cu22 doesn't, and the lack of binding compared to my santana just looks really cheap for some reason, I can't put my finger on why though. After spending this kinda money on a true work of art like a prs axe, I'd like to enjoy my guitar the way it came in, rather than subjecting it to ridiculous temps and humidity for a SLIGHT chance it would lighten up to something cool over a long period of time.
I also learned recently to pay way more attention to the setting that a for sale guitar is being pictured in. If it has a wonderful hue of blue or orange on the top, but it's in direct sunlight being taken around high noon, then chances are I can't expect it to look like that in all cases, especially rooms that aren't well lit.
Unfortunately I probably couldn't even snag a faded blue jean or nice faded whale for double what I could sell this for though. Until I'm done with school maybe I should lower my expectations some :-D.
Sorry for the story, I'm just bored and rambling here. Time to go play something and get off here for a little!
