Childbirth and Guitars

  • Hope this is ok to share here…

    Interesting question here… Just had a baby and our midwife did a thing with the placenta cord dehydrated and shaped into a heart and said to preserve it we should spray it with a clear coat or varathane. This reminded me that this is a perfect opportunity to finally try and preserve sharpie signatures on my nylon string guitar. I got these all at a Tommy Emmanuel guitar camp in Maui back in 2019. It’s very sentimental to me and I want to keep them intact.



    Can someone please tell me how to best preserve these best?

  • I haven't actually watched this particular video yet but Brad is pretty knowledge about guitar finishing so I would expect some good information in this one.

    And I can't believe that two of us have commented on he signature but neither of us thought to congratulate you and your wife on the birth of you baby 🤦🏻‍♂️


    Congratulations! Prepare for sleepless nights, stinking nappies (diapers for the Americans on here) and a constant money drain for the next 30+years. But it's worth it 👍👍👍👍

    To note it won’t dissolve the ink. It is sharpie. And thank you, cheers to the next 18 years of parental service to mankind
