They can get way worse as well, at the current delamination of the OPs, it is very repairable without having to do a full refinish
Before New Uv finish

Well, not really. The gloss parts are UV cured polyester.

You are correct, one of the problems with being such a tough finish is if you get under the finish and seperate it from the wood it goes opaque in colour but is still structurally solid, this is why we wick superglue in to re establish the bond
The gibson photo was to show that most finishes suffer some form of issue and its not a quality control problem but simply is what it is Steve

There are literally millions and millions of guitars that do not have finish delamination. While there are other causes (especially on older guitars subjected to high humidity), improper surface preparation or using incompatible products are prime reasons for finish delamination on newish guitars.
Quote:
Catalyzed polyester has been around for a long time, and all those Asian guitars made since the 1960's rarely have delaminating finishes. Taylor just jumped in without doing their homework, and it bit them. If no QC is involved, then why would they even consider repairing these under warranty? And if it is an ongoing issue, then why bother repairing them at all? |

Who did the work? Did you have to replace the Taylor logo? Mine is just starting to peel up but it’s driving me crazy. I added a chrome washer between the headstock and tuner nut to cover up the damage. The washers are slightly larger diameter that the nuts so it covers up most of the damage and especially the edge where the problem started. I used chrome so they match up nicely to the finish on the tuners and you would never notice them if I didn’t point them out
