JP Maintenance

[Kenji20022]

Hey guys, have a quick question for JP owners.

Have any of you experienced your Crunchlab getting "Cloudy" or "hazy"? Mine seems to have gotten that over the last few months and I can't simply wipe it away. Is this easily remedied?

What have you used to wipe your guitar down with? It could possibly be that.

 

[Kenji20022]

I've been using a Micro-Fiber Cloth, wipe it down and the strings everytime I even come in contact with it haha. It's not a big issue, but I like it looking the best it can.

Are you talking about just the pickup, because when I play - I sweat, and it causes a milky residue on the guitar.
I will sometimes play the first set and forget to wipe it during the break, and I get a "Haze" on the guitar.
Happens to whatever guitar I play.

I just use some guitar polish and a cloth and it easily comes off.

You cant beat the worn in played look!!

Not really, the chrome part of the Liquifire (The Bar) Just gets foggy and doesn't clear up when you wipe it down. The guitar itself gets smothered in finger prints but that's easy enough to take care of! I'll try a bit of guitar polish on a piece of cloth next time I change strings. I'll probably switch out the pickups anyways for another set of Dimarzio's eventually, just wanted to see if any other JP owners have experienced this.

I have not experienced this on my JPs. Maybe send a note to Dimarzio and see what they say?

 

[Kenji20022]

I'll definitely do that, it's worth noting that I got most of the hazing off of the Crunchlab bar, but where the strings usually are over seem to not be coming off as easily. Gonna email Dimarzio and ask them about this, maybe a set of Black CL/LF like on the JPX is in order

Do report back with what dimarzio says.
