Yes, well I propose a lot of film & animation. So it would be perfectly natural that I record sound & put original backing over the visuals…JSett wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 11:22 amWell, I'm sure you can find a way to write off against your taxes a guitar as a 'prop' or 'research material'....there's lots of sneaky ways hahaasal paradise wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 11:12 amI wish I did something creative in the traditional sense. I can’t even really explain what I do; consulting, designing training and comms campaigns for businesses. Like marketing, without proper budgets.
I did it last year by buying a guitar & using it as a reference to draw a tattoo design
Anyone else infatuated with their Acoustic?

I’ve got this up for sale, although seems minimal interest. Realised I can get a new battery holder for £5. Done.sal paradise wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 7:33 amThis is what’s going on at the back & why I got it cheap-ish for a 200 series. Plus no battery cover.
So I was thinking. What if I took some super light grit sandpaper & tidied up the flaked edges, then add a few coats of poly and tried to sand it to a level finish?
Maybe try and use some super on the buckle rash & smaller finish issue.
I’m sure it would look weird. But less awful than the exposed wood. Or is that just a recipe for making it harder to sell?
Something like this…?

Re: Anyone else infatuated with their Acoustic?
I have been primarily an acoustic player since I began playing back in 1957. For about 20-25 years in the middle of that time I didn’t even own an electric, or care to.
I don’t even care for the sound of plugged in A/E guitars.

Re: Anyone else infatuated with their Acoustic?
I personally would not feel I had the skills to do it, and I wonder if it would really solve the problem. If the issue is that the finish didn't bond to the wood properly because some moisture got between the two, then I wonder if the problem is persistent still.sal paradise wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 11:12 pm

Obviously the real fix would be to just refinish it all.
Your approach might look good, or might not, might fix it, or might not. It might be good enough for a sale if you didn't disclose your home remedy, but if I saw on a listing that someone with no experience tried to fix it this way I would just move on, there's no shortage of 200 series Taylors to choose from (of course yours is left handed so maybe more scarce).
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

I’d assumed it would look like a diy repair. But I’ll take your advice & leave it alone for someone else to deal with.
