Removing Guitar Armor
I just bought a high-end acoustic that the previous owner put Guitar Armor on the top on the treble bout down to the bridge. This is a product sold some years ago, and I don't think the original company is even in business anymore. So, it's been on it for awhile. Anyone ever have experience in removing this stuff? I might just be better off to leave it alone. Not sure.
Thanks in advance for any considered advice here. |

Those static cling "protectors" can cause some real trouble with nitrocellulose lacquer, and a few other finishes as well. If it's a lacquer finished instrument, you can count on serious damage beneath the plastic when you take it off. If it's a recent vintage Taylor or other instrument with catalyzed polymer finish, it may be no problem at all. . .

It seems there are two Guitar Armor products: one a self adheisve and the other a static cling

Thanks for the replies. Frank: I wrote you a PM with a couple of questions. Hope you don't mind. The guitar is a '93 Olson. I have been researching all evening, and I read where Jim uses a polyester finish. I just assumed he used nitro, but maybe not. Seems if the finish is polyester, the removal is much less problematic. Does anyone know what finish Olson guitars were using in '93?
