picker Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hey, my new (used) Strat has a slight case of belt buckle rash on the back, just above the lower edge. Guess the guy who did it wore it high or something. Has anyone ever tried buffing that sort of thing out before? Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

Trucks Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 This is kind of what I was going to use T-Cut for (thread Guitar Polishing). I've used the coloured T-Cut to buff out scratches on cars but I was wondering if its OK to use on guitars. I may give it a go on a small area of the guitar. If results are good i'll let you know.

Dr. Ellwood Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yeah a couple of times but I depends on what it looks like, I mean the extent and depth of the damage. If it's not down to the base wood and there is still enough nitrocell left on it there is a possiabiliy, use a soft damp to almost wet but not dripping rag with automotive very fine cleaning (NOT RUBBING) compount and GENTLY abrate the area, not just the effected area but generally around that area. Important, check your progress OFTEN! only little bit at a time and always in a circular motion with almost NO pressure. Wipe it off often with damp clean soft cloth and evaluate your progress. http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Fraser Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 < I don't have an answer to that question, but I really wonder what is going on in the heads of guys who wear big belt buckles when playing nice guitars. When I played in rock bands in high school it was a sign of musician coolness to wear your belt with the buckle one loop over to the left. That way it doesn't screw up the finish of the guitar. I see tons of used guitars for sale with a spot worn down to raw wood in back & I'm amazed at that level of lack of care for what in many cases are very expensive instruments.
