    Cloudy finish

    I recently bought a used Custom that has a cloudy finish in the strap button area and on the back around the trem cavity. I'm guessing it's from sweat but I don't really know. Anyway I'm trying to find a way of getting rid of it. Can it be buffed out? How about leeching with alcohol. Help?

    Sounds like the clear coat lifted...typically happens from an impact unless you are just talking about hazing from use such as the rubbing that can occur from taking a strap on or off....or another example would be pick haze.

    if you take some pics and post I'm sure we can be more helpful. if it really bothers you I'm sure the PTC can fix it right up.

    Yeah, no easy answer there. Refinish or live with it.

    It doesn't hurt the guitar.
