I recently bought an used 2008 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Alpine White. It is quite yellow like yours, and has some cracks on the painting (which I like). Could it have a nitro finish?

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

@@andre991 Nah, I dont think so. There is a Vintage Alpine version. Or maybe if someone refinished it

[@andre991]

@@GeorgeVGuitars yep, I guess it is that aged/vintage version. I found some on the internet just like mine. Thanks!

Hi I have a 2010 white custom and after 13 years of using, it still hasn’t gone that much yellow like yours. Is there anyway I can age it more cream and yellow? Thank you

leave it in the sun

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

Leave it in direct sunlight

5 /2 /8 on Gibson warranty checklist should be second of May, 2008, not fifth of February.

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

Yeah its fine ;)

Добрый день! Вы территориально где находитесь? Инструмент продаётся?

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

Bulgaria, no it is not for sale.

What polish did you use?

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

Music Nomad Guitar Polish. But I wouldn't use it every day because it would take off some of the nitro, but in this case there was no other way.

[@jacef5739]

@@GeorgeVGuitars No No but I have a similar mark I would like to try and remove.

[@benrobinson3438]

​@@GeorgeVGuitarsGibson makes a polish that works fantastic on nitro finishes because, well, it's FOR Gibsons with nitro finishes! Haha! They also make a restoration kit you can buy for older guitars.

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

@@benrobinson3438 Im not a huge fan of anything else than guitars branded gibson. I have used their branded care kits, their strings as well. Mediocre at best, same as Dunlop. Music Nomad specialises in guitar care.

[@benrobinson3438]

@@GeorgeVGuitars Like you said in the video, not all nitro finishes are the exact same. I love and use MusicNomad products on everything, but for my LP the Gibson polish does that little extra somethin-somethin. I haven't used Gibson strings before. But about Dunlop products, I've used them and agree 100%. They're just "eh".
