Smell in case?

Don't worry about it.

It'll clear up in a couple weeks.

You'll get used to it before that.

 

Go to your local Guitar store and snag a couple
of those Dessicant packs that come packed with
the Guitars & Basses and put them in the case.
When I store my Cases away I leave a couple of
those in each one.

 

my fretboard(rosewood) smells weird...like weird.

what can I do?

 

i think you should just air the case . leave it open . the smell should go away . eventually
my skb case smells quite nice .

 

The SKB that came with my StingRay5 smelled good, almost like vanilla!

The smell won't hurt your guitar, it's just gonna make it stink too.

I don't think it will ever go completely. Maybe it'll get a bit better, but there'll always be a little fragrance inside... Well, that's what I think.

Osama, the smell from your board probably comes from the oil used on it. It must be normal, don't worry about it.

 

Now I know where I left that lutefisk!

 

i got this funk going on in my car. what should i do?

 

I'd take that smelly equipment out and air the smoke and shhoot out of it at least once a year!
Those taco wrappers gotta go, too.

Have you checked to see if the Teamster's Local left Hoffa's body in your trunk?

 

Well....

Since we're open to smells in different regions I got this wicked stench coming from my girlfriend's...................................................................................................................................................................................................


house.


hehe

kidding

 

Dude, the Aguilar cabs that I bought almost 4 months ago, still have that awesome Vanilla smell... Since I have been either going to practice, recording or gigging most days out of a week I have been keeping them in the car... my car smells so good now!!! Which is great since quitting smoking and buying those speakers, the car doesn't have the cig-funk anymore....which I thought was going to last till I sold my car....


Actually speaking of which, Playing in bars every weekend, one would expect my cabs to start smelling like smoke as well... That Vanilla smell has prevailed over the cig-funk!!!

 

My Ibanez 570 that I bought new in '92 still has that "new guitar" vanilla type smell. It did come with a SKB too.

I keep all my guitars in the case when not being played. They all smell and look new to a certain extent. With small kids around, if you're not holding onto it. Lock it up!

 

It's natural. My G&L fretless gets that "something new" smell whenever I leave it in the case, and after a few days out in the fresh air it just smells like the rest of my room.

Hmmm... thinking about that, I should leave it in the case more often.

 

This is definitely a case for the Fab 5. They'd know what to do!

 

So Guitarist's Eye for the Bass guy?

 

I solved that one by leaving a $89 nylon string
beach guitar around for them to play with.
Kept them away from my real guitars and basses.

The case is gonna need an air freshener.
Preferably a retro one that looks like Marilyn
Monroe. From the auto store.

Or, try vanilla drops ( alcohol based extract of
vanilla) or simply buy some vanilla beans at the
whole foods type market, and leave'em in there.

If you can't air it out, overpower it.

 

cut some cedar, pine. spruce or other wintergreen twigs with lots of needles and close them up in the case for a few days. The chlorophyl will neutralize most odors.

Of course just leaving the case open for a few days should work also.
