Re-moisturized


It's GibSUNDAY & time spent with the SG. Nothing much, just a re-string before play.


This is worth sharing - this SGJ has a satin finished body. Over time, the finish will thin out, especially over the areas of contact with the hand / arm. Note the dry areas above, it's even drier than the fretboard. I have never oiled / re-moisturized this body because it's simply not required till today, of course - after 6 years. If this is left unattended, the dry parts will flake off.


So whatever was applied onto the fretboard got applied over the dry areas & it looks like nothing happened to begin with. Fresh set of D'Addario 10s & it's riff assault Sunday. Actually only about an hour of play. The Seymour Duncan humbuckers you see here: JB (b) / Pearly Gates Plus (n). Wonderful pickups for the guitar. The JB sounds like a seasoned PAF, unlike its bright attack profile.
