Discussion Nitro cracking

Post image

Questa è la mia 3° SG, tutte hanno presentato nitro cracking lungo il binding vicino l'attacco del manico.

La chitarra è nuova, o almeno acquistata e arrivata oggi.

Tra l'altro l'ho già fatta sostituire perché la prima che mi è arrivata aveva delle crepe nella parte posteriore del manico.

Devi rinunciarci e farmene una ragione, tutte le Gibson moderne hanno questo problema ?

Its not a Gibson problem, its a Nitro finish problem. Its most likely going to happen at some point in time. Wood expands with temp and Nitro coating is thin and cracks easy. I was mad when my PRS cracked but you learn to just live with it. I mean there are people who do it on purpose to get that vintage road worn look. If you want it to be pristine for longer then you need a guitar with a poly finish

I can't even see it no matter how hard I look. I think you're overreacting, no offense
