MartyGrass Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I didn't do this. This is the neck of a Heritage that was hurt by a stand. Just a reminder- be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totonka Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It's like CSI Kzoo - forensic examination finding ligature marks on the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yep. I learned the hard way with my first Nitro necked guitar, an American Deluxe Strat. Melted the back of the neck finish into ooey, gooey, butter. I nearly cried, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamayo Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Dang... You know what? I recently bought a 1973 G****n J-50 Deluxe and It had those same marks. For the life of me I didn't know what it was but figures it was the finish. What causes that? And can it be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 What did you do? To make it happen? Set it on a cheap surgical tubing stand for about a week. When I tried to pick it up, the stand nearly came with it, it had melted the nitro that badly. To "fix" it, I took it to my local Fender Dealer, where their tech repeatedly sanded down and oiled the offending blemish until it was no longer sticky, looked like hell with the bare wood color showing through on the back of that beautifully amber tinted neck. This got a little less noticable over time, as my hands natural oils started to even out the color, but you would have to be blind to not notice it was there. It wasn't a great job, as I could always feel the bump with my left thumb every time I was up around the 7th or 8th fret. A painful lesson. I know, Fenders are SUPPOSED to get beat up, but the fact that I did this soon after buying this thing brand new burned my butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydog52 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Bought these for my stands. Looks like the same material that case lining is. Never have to worry about nitro burns. https://secure.sadowsky.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=245&osCsid=65d349a98505ce34c05346a9a2ba985c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it can be used on a hanger like this: http://www.thomann.de/be/km_16295.htm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Cool! Do you think it can be used on a hanger like this: http://www.thomann.de/be/km_16295.htm ? I don't have an answer for you. I just wanted to say I thought it pretty cool that they mentioned to not use them on nitro. Cool hanger, tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
