What about severe buckle rash.
See a doctor. They'll get you something stronger than penicillin.
And in the future, don't wait until it spreads to your buckle.
What about severe buckle rash.
Light scratches can be polished out, but I take 'severe' to mean 'heavy'.What about severe buckle rash.
Always found it curious that some players would take such good care of their guitar everywhere else, and let the back look like it was dragged behind a carThe guitar came this way with some asshat who wore a belt. What a shame. Just adds to the character
when i moved out of my parents' house, i put my high school diploma (a big padded thing with an etching of the school on fake silk) right in the garbage.Light scratches can be polished out, but I take 'severe' to mean 'heavy'.
The only way to fix heavy scratches is a refinish. Too much paint would have to be removed to level the surface enough to remove the scratches with polish.
I realize collectors diss refinished guitars like there's some magic voodoo in original paint. So what, it's your guitar, and if buckle rash bothers you, there's nothing wrong with a refinish, provided it's done correctly and is thin enough.
It's kinda like the magic voodoo in hang tags and 'case candy'. I mean, come on. But now you have to save this junk because it seems required by future buyers.
I remember throwing out the certificate and junk from my Artist II before I sold it in the late '90s. No one cared. Now they might. I really want to have a "burn the paper junk that comes in guitar cases" party, which I need about as much as I needed to carry around my draft card that in my lifetime no one ever asked for, even when I got drafted.
No buckles EVER touch the backs of my guitars. I always tuck my shirt around my buckle, even though it is a smaller dress belt buckle. No cowboy billboards on my belts.
I attended my high school graduation as an observer solely because my girlfriend was graduating as the valedictorian! Were it not for that, I certainly would not have gone at all!! I think my Mom still has my diploma ;~))when i moved out of my parents' house, i put my high school diploma (a big padded thing with an etching of the school on fake silk) right in the garbage.
Love that Gretsch! Watch out for the belt buckle rash on your forearm!!The only time a "Dead D__k Monument" belongs near a guitar is a Gretsch Knotty Pine Roundup where it's safely mounted to the tailpiece.

Man, if I ever get around to graduating I’m gonna hang mine up in the bathroom.I attended my high school graduation as an observer solely because my girlfriend was graduating as the valedictorian!

Word! My favorite really is that Veuve Clicqout pentanque microfiber I used in that video. It doesn’t “shed” or absorb like some of the guitar ones I got.For me, plush microfiber cloth only as guitar is being put into case after each days play. When I change strings, I will clean up the areas that are difficult to access when strings are on, but sometimes I am in such a hurry to get the new strings on that I forget!! I have a few different guitar cleaners, and only use them when there is something that can not be removed with a little water on a microfiber cloth. As Les said in his excellent description, not all microfiber cloths are created the same. The one I use most is from Fender, but I also have really nice ones from Ernie Ball others, I just think the plush and feel of the Fender one is the best of those I have so I use it daily. Only scratches on my main guitar (which has over 2,000 hours of play time) are pick scratches from my sometimes aggressive playing, YMMV. I polished it once shortly after I first received it, but decided I did not want to wear away the finish with abrasives so I abandoned that!
i say the same about a graduate degree, which i should have finished 25 years ago. at this stage in life i'd rather do nails.Man, if I ever get around to graduating I’m gonna hang mine up in the bathroom.
My wife has a whole bunch of degrees and never hangs them up, what’s up with y’all?i say the same about a graduate degree, which i should have finished 25 years ago. at this stage in life i'd rather do nails.
just today i was saying i'm going to do the men's room in elizabeth taylor photos.
And what a fine video that is! Gets right down to it, with a poppin' sound track!!Word! My favorite really is that Veuve Clicqout pentanque microfiber I used in that video. It doesn’t “shed” or absorb like some of the guitar ones I got.
It’s important to have your own theme song.And what a fine video that is! Gets right down to it, with a poppin' sound track!!
Sure is, hopefully I will be launching my "Moondog Monday" song/live feed later this month! Song was written a couple of months ago, but too much "life" stuff to attend to before I start this weekly feed!! "Funny and silly with the Moondog Wily, maybe just a bit absurd" is one of the lines and I hope to live up to it!!!It’s important to have your own theme song.
The only thing I wipe down after every playing is the G string
let me try this: 'that's what he said?'
I saved mine. No idea why!when i moved out of my parents' house, i put my high school diploma (a big padded thing with an etching of the school on fake silk) right in the garbage.
Get rid of the rats!I saved mine. However, I have no idea where that, or my college diploma, are. I'm guessing somewhere in the pile of boxes in my basement resulting from several moves.
I do need to clean all that out. I started putting all the junk in plastic storage boxes before COVID, and then lost my momentum.
I've read that rats love to eat cardboard, and that one should get rid of cardboard in a basement storage room.
Which means I should get rid of the shipping boxes for my guitar and recording gear. Except...what if I move again??? What if I need to ship something for service? What if I sell something?
You see my conundrum. I don't want rats. But I do want to be able to ship or move my gear safely. There's gotta be a compromise!
Get rid of the rats!
