Toonpack 6766 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 On a serious note, J45 disaster, left capo clipped to headstock for a few weeks, never gave it a thought as was playing infrequently and on my other stuff, and eventually takes it off and it's fucked the laquer Any ideas on where/if that could be re-done ??

Tom 13811 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 A proper luthier will sort that in no time, I wouldn’t worry. I know a great bloke in Durham but I’m not sure that’ll be much use Also who made the capo? Nitrocellulose can sometimes react negatively to steel but there probably should have been a warning on the pack. Where there’s blame there’s a claim.

Next thing you know you’ll be roofied out of your mind in the back of a taxi, whilst he asks you to demonstrate your fingering technique on his Pink Instrument.
