| Perfect for the guy who shelled out the big bucks for a "relic'd" axe. Wouldn't want to scratch it up. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | You should see what people do to cars. I've actually seen booties that fit over the tires and wheels that match the full car cover. I also so a guy mask his convertible top after each show because, according to him, it was the best way to keep dust out of the pores.
(My wife's car is sitting in the garage with a dust cover over it as we speak.)
If you buy something just to collect it, put it in a case and lock it up. |

So one of them would be great for the Luthier table, set-up and stuff like that...
Otherwise, that is stupid.
"Moisture absorbing Double Layer Cotton Flannel..." on the neck? Blue painters' tape will keep you oily hands from screwing-up the neck, too... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Back to my car analogy (I know I'm a one trick pony), a world-class car restorer was asked whether he uses these fancy miro-fiber or other towels. He just uses old T shirts that have been washed so many times they tear easily. I have some of those "double layer cotton flannel" shirts, too. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Using bags in a production environment is just about necessary. It really cuts down rework.
For a person to use them in the real world, I'd have to agree with Damon, not that there's anything wrong with that. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I've never seen the neck headstock cover...a similar cover with the same name was marketed in the late '70's early 80's...I had one for a black Strat and it was pretty cool...I sold it with the guitar... |

This is kind of interesting for solid body owners
