Black Residue on Fingers
Black Residue on Fingers
One week ago, I received my brand new E-II Eclipse Blue Natural Fade. I've put many hours on this guitar over the last week and after each session, I'm left with black residue on my fingers. I assumed it was an issue with the strings (Elixir Nanoweb Lights) so I contacted the authorized dealer I bought the guitar from and they gave me a free pack of Elixirs to replace. After changing the strings, I'm still getting black residue on my fingers, so now I assume this is from the fretboard or frets themselves.
I'm just wondering what this is. Has anyone else experienced this, is it normal? I have no other issues with this guitar as it is amazing in every other way.
Yes, that would be the polish they use on the fingerboard. I too got this for about a week, now I no longer have that happen to me.
