Hi everyone.
The electric guitar was completely repainted with polyurethane lacquer at a guitar workshop.
The guys at the workshop said they use this lacquer on hundreds of guitars every year.
However, a year after the repainting, the guitar still has a characteristic solvent smell in hot weather. It feels slightly tacky to the touch, but this is just a sensation. The lacquer is actually fully hardened. However, it doesn’t feel the same as the factory finish on an USA Jackson. Can anyone explain why this is happening and how to completely eliminate the smell?
Thanks
