I have a pretty nice R7 Gold Top. It's a 2009 in very good condition. My SG62 is in really good shape too. I
don't have a problem playing them out. But I stopped several years ago due to an illness

That's too bad. I play all mine out too. Some people are concerned about scratches etc on mint guitars. I'm not one of those. I play em like they are meant to be played live.
Mmm SG62.....

100% Got them to play them. I take a few nice pictures now and then. But yeah, Ive added my fair share a dings and scratches. It's the way it goes.

Here is the SG. The original chain saw case was long gone when I bought it. So were the original pickups. Over the years I have has 3 of these. I bought one when they first came out in 1986.

You likely saw but I just got to gig my newly acquired 1953 LP last weekend. Loved it! It has seen 70 years of playing....

Nice acquisition, I love wine red Customs!

I don’t mind playing wear on guitars, but that’s not “playing wear”. That’s I phucked up the finish wear, lol. I’d consider a re-finish if it were mine, but hey, that’s just me.

I thought about it. But I was gifted( early inheritance) and it reminds me of my old friend. I don't want change it. I like the way it sounds. A refin could change that.

Now if I did a re-finish it would be in black. Maybe even add a middle pickup. I always wanted a 3 pickup custom. For now
I would just be better off buying one.

I think he said it was from an old can of Gibson polish that went bad. It does not make any sense to me. Next time I see him I will ask again. It's strange, I think it had to have a delayed reaction. It went in deep. I mean how could you not otherwise notice it as it's happening.?

Looks to me like someone put on the polish and forgot about it. I can see it if it was left on overnight, doesn’t even look like it was spread out well and was puddling in some places. I too would strip / stain & clear coat that baby.
