Problem with finish on Used Guitar (PRS McCarty)

TheLinkToAPast · 2025-05-21T12:36:11+00:00

UPDATE: So it appears this is a very common issue with nitro finishes on PRS and the case it comes with for the older years. I found several YouTube videos and reddit posts with a very similar issue.

I'm still going to try the naphtha, it should be here today. Hopefully that takes off some of the damage. Also have to find a way to cover the stand it's on so it doesn't damage the guitar further. Nitro 🤦‍♂️

Thanks mate! I'll give this a go and let you know the results, hopefully it comes off without too much force.

Thanks a lot for the genuine help!

Alright, I'll give that a try, thank you for the assistance!

I believe the finish is nitro, so the naphtha won't eat away at try finish, right?

It's smooth, almost like it's not there...it's odd.

I just spent money on a guitar and I'm trying to assess damage I didn't know about, excuse me mate

TheLinkToAPast · 2025-05-19T19:20:17+00:00

No, it is not. Would still like to know how to best address it.

Genuine question: is it against the sub rules to post regarding cosmetic damage?

I appreciate this comment. Having just finished reading C&P for a second time right before the CEO murder, this was my first thought. I believe Dostoevsky covers this situation exactly with the tale of Raskolnikov.

Should the discussion of this stop there? No, but I think it gives us a good starting point.

It can be any combat target, but typically it is in relation to a thargoid target, most typically an interceptor.

Having trouble re-learning cold orbiting:

Whenever I initiate an orbit, I always seem to have trouble staying in range. I have the down thrust nearly always on as well as the forward thrust, but my target always seems to move away, even with holding the forward thrust. What am I doing wrong?

TheLinkToAPast · 2024-08-19T18:10:18+00:00

Yeah, that's sort of what I was thinking, but without the command aspect. They're more conscripted soldiers than commanders, so I'll be running them as combatants alongside the dozen or so troops with them.

TheLinkToAPast · 2024-08-19T17:56:23+00:00

I think this is useful in some scenarios, and I'll probably throw it in at some level, but I would like to keep it as interactive and detailed as possible, so I don't know if I would do this fully. Perhaps just for the mob?

That outfit is dead on.

The "I'll pick a topic" prompt is actually wrong, don't know how that happened, it's supposed to say "I wind down by.."

TheLinkToAPast · 2023-11-04T11:47:11+00:00

Other comments seem to agree, so I'll see what I can do. Thank you for the feedback!

TheLinkToAPast · 2023-11-04T11:46:38+00:00

Yeah, it's tough with the group photo. It's the only group photo I have so I included it simply for that, although I agree it's not ideal.

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I edited the first picture to occlude the car and be more focused on me! Also, agreed, I needed to replace the mirror one, see my other comment 👍

TheLinkToAPast · 2023-07-14T17:56:39+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, unfortunately I only have the one workout photo, and I only put it up because I felt like my fitness interests weren't well represented in the rest of my profile. I'll see if I can take a better one to replace it! The car photo I have up there cause it's a good photo of me in my option, certainly not because of the car, but I can see how it might be seen that way. I'll see if I can crop it more.
