Hi All,

Yesterday I was playing at a big party.
Somebody asked me to borrow mine guitar to play a bit too...
And what we are all affraid for, just happened.
A woman pased by, and with her dress she throwed over a full glas of red Rioja wine.
The most of it landed in the soundhole of the guitar.

I saw it happen and took the guitar from the guy that was playing and try to shake it all out.
But the bad thing has happened allready.....all the inside of the guitar was red from the Rioja.

I tried to get the rest out with toilet paper, but the guitar was still very red.

At home I let it dry overnight, and this morning something strainge has happened.

I took the guitar from the wall, played it, and the sound was increadible! loud, full, earthy, and with a very sweet undertone, I could allmost hear the soil the tree had grown on, the guitar is made from....
The sound have ingreased unbelievable!

Under a picture from the inside from my guitar, all red from the Rioja!

Should it stay this way?

If so, I think I buy a good Rioja and do it to my other guitars too

You got me! Awesome... I felt bad for you for a while... its always a bit un-nerving when someone you dont know asks to play your guitar... Then when the wine spilled I thought to myself "see. thats why you dont lend your guitar out..."

yeah, unless they know what they're doing, i dont like other people touching my guitar, especially non-flamencos who try to do crazy tourrettes rasgueados or john bonham drum solo golpes on my poor guitar.
