why are sgs soo dented easily!! i swear my sg special have so many dents from just tiny bents

Do u guys know anything about how to cover the dents

 

[gotdabluz]

is your special one of the faded models? if so, then that seems to be pretty common . . . the super-thin coat of lacquer on these models seems to leave them prone to 'denting' . . . I know mine has many minor marks in the surface and I'm very careful with it

 

[fcjc]

yeah it is. Ive heard of people spraying something over it i cant recall waht/

A quarter inch thick plate of titanium should protect it for many years.
Just be sure to ground it carefully first.

............. 1/8" steel diamond plate if you're into the heavy metal thing.................. ;D ;D

Thats cause Gibson, unlike nearly anyone else, still uses nitro to coat their guitars. And this is a great thing. Nitro is a fine finish, lets the wood breathe and ring out, really is quality. The stuff that Fender uses these days is pretty much like covering your guitar in Legos. Same with every import guitar out there. I like the feel of nitro much more than the feel of Plastic.
