I own a Gibson SG Special with a worn brown finish. I understand that this guitar has considerably less lacquer on it than most Gibsons, and It has begun to fade in several areas. Normal guitar polish doesn't help, can anyone recommend any products that will either bring back the finish or protect it from further damage?


Answer
It is not meant for the finish on that guitar to stay 100% like new. Guitar finishes will wear over time. Heat and humidity are the worst enemies. The humidity needs to be kept just right to keep the wood from wearing. Gibson guitar polish is the best for those guitars and is formulated for the finish. There is not much you can do to bring back the finish. Enjoy it for what it is.
