Members DocJefrey Posted July 19 Members Share Posted July 19 Light (or lack of) can have a significant effect on color, especially if the guitar is finished in nitro. As an experienced guitar refinishing expert, I have seen this many times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members badpenguin Posted July 25 Members Share Posted July 25 Well, after 28 years in a gig bag, why do you still have it for one... For two, do you remember the color differently? I mean, it WAS 28 years ago. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
