I just put Schaller strap locks on 3 of my guitars, Penny, Honey and my brand new a Gretsch Jet in Silver, aptly renamed to Silvio (Stevie Van Sant, one of favorites). Also, upgraded my guitar stand to a Fender 7 guitar stand, lined in red velvet. I noticed the stand I had my Tribute on was making tiny marks on the back where it leaned on the stand. I have my new little love, the Fender Ron Emory Loyalty Parlor in the guitar shop getting a couple fret buzz spots adjusted. Bought a Snake Skin Walker & Williams Strap for Silvio and a Gold Butterfly Walker & Williams Strap for Honey. I’m at 9 guitars right now. Out of control.

@jerseychicadee Ever since my Gibson SG fell off the stand and broke the headstock, my guitars have lived in their cases

So, here’s the daily Guitar drama. My new Honey, a Les Paul Tribute was a used guitar. I checked it out very well BUT yesterday I found a teenie tiny spot on the heel of the neck. I thought I’d spilled something on it. Probably coffee or gravy. So, I wiped it, then took my fingernail to it. Mistake. Turns out it was a bubble in the nitrocellulose satin lacquer. Called around the area. Had a Zoom with Gibson guitars. Cost about $300-400 plus S&H. Might as well return it and step up. So, back to GC this am and returned little Honey. Then shelled out the extra $400, bought a brand spanking new one same model and color. Built 6/21.

End note:

Cause of the bubble, a cheap guitar stand. The fake rubbery foam reacts with the satin lacquers. So, my cheap guitar stand I bought is going to get covered in velvet to protect the finish on my other guitars. I may end up buying a wooden cabinet. I showed my son some on Amazon. He says he can build one once the weather cools off. The Gibson blogs talk about this Nitrocellulose peeling a lot. Live and Learn.
