I got an old Les Paul SG 1961, that I purchased in 1978 already. Back then it was reddish and shiny, but for an instrument with nitro laquere that is almost 60 years old, it’s not shiny anymore. Otherwize it’s a perfect instrument. Some years ago I tried to polish it with some oil for mahagony, but the guitar then got some tiger stripes: the oil got under the laquere because of the cracks in the finish. The stripes disappeared after some months, and for years now I’ve just polished it with a cloth dipped in some water. However, now I want to polish it again, so I ask; what do you use to get an old instrument shiny again, if it has some cracks in the nitro?
