Joined: February 2007 Posts: 75 Location: Portland, OR | So my own pick marks on my 2078 (black finish) I could live with... But my 3 year old son figured out that when he pressed hard enough with the pic onto the guitar top, he could draw... yay! So now i have swirls and lines ALL over the top of my beauty.. I recall reading a while back that some have used an automotive paint scratch remover to slightly re-finish the top of their guitar.. anyone have any more info on this, as to what product was used and if results were worthwhile? (Its not awful right now, so the last thing I want to do is make it worse). Any other suggestions are appreciated! Thanks | ||

Congrat's on having a piccaso in the family! You may not be able to get rid of all the scratches if they're too deep. How about keeping them of memento and showing your son 15 years from now when he asks for gas money. | ||

Gets rid of light scratches just slicker than butter on a bald monkey (now there's a picture...). The guys at the mothership worked WONDERS with my 1719 that had some really ugly DEEP pick scratches as well. I think though that if your son used regular plastic or nylon picks on your guitar, and not metal ones) the Meguiers or Stew-Mac solutions should do the trick. | ||

Hooks into the bottom of the sound hole, goes around under, and around the your neck. Used by classical players with round knees and uke players who play lead...... I've never been able to figure out how that guitar strap of his works. (If you don't keep your hands and elbow on the instrument, it rolls away) | ||

The weight of the guitar is supported by the strap beneath the guitar and holds the soundhole hook in place. Maybe someone should ask if this type of strap hinders any acoustical vibrations of the top on the other thread. | ||
