*A Dingotone finish on an LP style build from about 4 and a half years back literally turned into treacle earlier this year. Sticky goo.
I destrung, took off the bridge and knobs and sat for hours with goof off, microfibre cloths and cotton buds removing the finish front and back.
The treacle came off successfully with a lot of elbow grease.
But here is my query.
I love the way the guitar looks. It is sparse - not relict - kinda very slightly distressed - and the spalted top is just lovely (I had originally grain filled it and its really very smooth). There clearly must still be some finish remaining in the wood because it is nowhere near like a new kit 😀. Just minimal finish with a little shine on it in the right light.
Will leaving it like this be problematic ? It looks so nice I want to keep it.
What would be best way of caring for such a minimal finished guitar.
