    Paint on my CS is chipping off

    Twenty of us bought these. 2005 Small batch, Dweezil green, CS San Dimas. I play mine live ALL THE TIME. It is my workhorse so I expect some wear, but this recent chipping is spreading and getting worse. Anyone else have these issues? My guitar guy put some Superglue in the gaps to help stop the spreading.

    I have #4/10 Reverse HS and the paint is flawless, looks as new. I gig with it all the time and am very careful (as with all my guitars) not to bump it on anything.

      Looks like moisture got in there and swelled the wood.
      Once moisture gets in there (sweat, humidity, etc), its only a matter of time.
      I can see rust on the neck screws in the second pic. She definitely got wet.
      Has the neck ever been taken off the guitar? Looks like the paint is almost crushed under the neck plate.

        Yeah, moisture swelling caused the screws to be too tight and exacerbated the chipping.

        Every time I string change a bolt on, I always check neck plate screw tension so it's snug and not too tight. I always thought that was me just being too anal, but now I see this I'm glad I check. lol

          Maybe the neck has been taken off. I can't remember. As far as moisture, maybe small amounts of beer and Jager. No great flood. Oh well.. it still plays great.

            Shouldn't there be some base coat??? It almost looks like someone sprayed over a clear coat.

              Yeah, almost seems like they forgot it

                There is a spot on it (I did not photograph since it was a accidental ding) that shows a white primer coat. The chipping areas clearly show a black body.

                  Those Dweezils are cool, sorry for your trouble. So what kind of body wood is that??
