| |
| Hello Mr. Fawcett. I recently aquired a Gibson hollow body electric |
| guitar. I *had* to return the guitars' case due to extreme mold scent |
| coming from the plush quasi-velvet lining. The guitar itself still has |
| mold spores alive inside the instruments body. I'm allergic to mold, |
| been tested. Every time I play this instrument I'm getting an allery |
| attack. Any way to kill the mold inside the guitar? Or shall I just |
| return it? Thank you, Rick Del Savio |

| Rick, |
| |
| Thank you for the email. |
| |
| Although your guitar can be treated successfully, I believe it will need |
| to be professionally treated. |
| |
| The procedure that would be used is as follows; |
| |
| 1) Remove strings |
| 2) HEPA vacuum interior body |
| 3) Treat body with Anabec Advanced Systems Cleaner either by wiping |
| and/or atomization |
| 4) Thoroughly dry |
| 5) Encapsulate interior body with Anabec Anashield |
| 6) Thoroughly dry |
| |
| I can think of no reason the sound quality would be altered or the |
| guitar damaged in any way. |
| |
| The cost to treat this instrument would be approx. $300 plus shipping. |
| This is assuming the instrument has a reasonable value. If this is a |
| highly valuable instrument then there is an increase of liability and |
| therefore the price would increase accordingly. |
| |
| Should you have questions please do not hesitate to email me. |
| |
| Sincerely, |
