really. auto products? ive been in auto industry for 40 years. i cringe at the thought of auto products on a high end axe. am i just uninformed?

BTW helloooooooooo SG good to see ya agin//o-o\\

Hey Relli - good to CU2!  Thought of you at last practise - we were trying to decide which Beatles tune to pick up next.  Guess it's gonna be 'In My Life'.

I have read in several places that auto paste wax was fine for guitars, with the caveat about silicone.  I have also heard tell of folks using rubbing compound to get minor scratches out.  Now, if I had a big $$ axe that I spent more time admiring than playing I might steer away from car products in favor of something else.  Maybe someone more knowledgeable than myself will post next and tell me what I'm full of, but until then...

What an appropriate use of that particular tune!  That being said, I hope they're not playing it for either of us any time soon.  I haven't really thought that  far ahead, yet.  I decided at the last funeral I attended that a fat girl singing Amazing Grace wasn't it, but didn't carry the thought process much further.

With live music in the state it's in around here (very sad) we're picking up lots of Beatle-type stuff and other 'boomer music'.  It's fun to do, especially when all 4 of us are singing harmonies, and the crowds we're drawing just love it.  It's so much easier to do what we do when we can see that the crowd is lovin it too!

Awsome SG! every other song i do is a Beatle song or one of thier "individual" songs. find myself gravitating more towards George since i took up guitar. what a genious. such simplicity.working on What Is Life at the moment.love the intro riff.

ok. not to be morbid but in my life is my burial song, i got a Yellow Submarine cookie jar for an urn, and im trying to find a contact in London that is willing to sprinkle a small packet of my ashes on the famous crosswalk at Abbey road. .........not that ive thought about it or anything...LOL  later man

For favorite axe it would have to be Amber my quilt top Chafin. Bartolini / Chafin Custom wound pickups (coil tapped)Mahogany body, AAAAA maple quilt top, ebony fingerboard with real MOP (not mother of toilet) Grover mini locking tuners, Tone Pros locking bridge and tail piece. She is the catagory of a Les Paul Custom weight wise, but the sustain is to die for with this guitar. She just wants to sing, the action is set at the lowest of any of my guitars .09 neck relief at the 8th fret, and 4/64 string height at the 17th fret low E and high E. She is like playing a Les Paul fretless wonder with the capability of quacking like only a Strat can also.

As far as automotive polish for your guitars, I use Merguiers Automotive car care products on all my guitars. I have used them for years and they are safe for Nitro finishes (I have 5 Nitro finish guitars) For the fretboards I use Weimans lemon oil (100% natural no petroleum distillates) plus it has a sunscreen additive that helps to prevent fading.

Bill,

Wow - she's a beaut!  Now if only we could find a way to get that 22 lb sustain out of an 8 lb guitar.  Oh, my achin' back!

Relli - you're obviously a very dedicated fan, as well as a obsessive planner.  I figure with my, ahem, monk-like lifestyle, I must have at least 100 years (?) left to make these plans - give or take...
