M-2 Urban Camo - yellowing finish
M-2 Urban Camo - yellowing finish
Hello guys,
I have a 2010 japanese M-2 Urban Camo (matte finish) that with time has come to become quite yellowish. The white sections of the camo and the white finish on the neck have all become a "dirty" yellow, despite the guitar being maintained in a case when not being used, and serviced/cleaned often.
Is there a way of returning to its former color? I am weary of trying any products to clean it and staining the finish, but its a shame if there's nothing to be done.
Kind regards!
Jonathan
The yellowing is due to the aging Polyurethane finish which is normal. The only way to remove this yellowing would be to re-finish the instrument. The time it takes for the finish to reach certain degrees of yellowish intensity will vary between instruments and is unable to be accurately predicted. This yellowing is also most visible on instruments with white or very light colored finishes.
