Members hondro Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 I would certainly be scared why didnt you open it for 3 days? I'd imagine that alcohol is pretty corosive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mind Riot Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 If you wiped it off thoroughly, soaking up as much liqiud as you could, I wouldn't be TOO worried. On second thought, I'm sure you're the first musician to get beer on his guitar at a gig. We all hear stories about guitars being ruined by beer at gigs, happens all the time.

Members Johansolo Posted April 24, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 i tried to wipe as much off ...but i probably rubbed it INTO the neck wood instead. i am really stressing now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 Well if it's American beer I wouldn't worry about the alcohol doing any damage . Maybe a little rust on the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members No Soul Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 buncha rooks! its completely fine. PRS uses a poly finishes. Even if it was laquer and hard liquor, Im sure it wouldnt do anything provided you wiped most of it off. Just dont get beer in your amp, all over yourself and your guitar is totally fine though, though that is a waste of perfectly good beer and should be considered a hate crime.

Members Johansolo Posted April 24, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 it was Australian beer...and im pretty sure most of it got soaked into neck/fretboard when i tried to wipe it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members No Soul Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 Originally posted by HungPhat it was Australian beer...and im pretty sure most of it got soaked into neck/fretboard when i tried to wipe it off Im guessing its rosewood then?Thats pretty tough stuff.If you are that worried about it go over it with some lemon oil, which will strip all the crap off (including some of the good stuff) then let it dry and then go over it again with a natural mineral oil.

Members Hopeless Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 Well I look at it this way, when I have a couple beers in me I think I sound better, I'm guessing the same will be true for your guitar. Next time you pick it up the tone should noticably improved, after that you'll be pouring pints on every axe you own looking for that secret mojo.

Members Ancient Mariner Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 IT WILL BE FINE. Don't worry about it. When you do get to it then just carefully clean it up. If any got into the pots then get so me contact cleaner and spray that inside. Beer won't touch the finish on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Milkman1 Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 Wow, this would be a first. Imagine, beer being spilled on a guitar in a bar. It 'll be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members curseoftruth Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 You got to be kidding?? A gigging guitar hasn't been broken in until it gets beer on it. I've wiped been off my main axe several times. They just kind of stink and are sticky. Cleans right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
