Here's an email we received. We thought the info might be useful.
Message: How thick (mils)is the vinyl wrap? Does it affect the guitar's sound? How long will it last? How many times can it be put on and removed? Thanks for your time.
Response: Total thickness is 5.25mil with vinyl and laminate. It has no effect on a solid body guitar and so far we have found no noticeable sound difference on acoustics, however, I will say that we have not tested them on high end acoustics where tone really matters. I would guess that there is actually a slight tonal difference if you were to scope the audio signal coming out of the guitar but I doubt very much if it's something the average person can perceive. The wrap will last indefinitely provided that it is not abused with sharp or abrasive materials. It's the same product used on vehicle wraps so it's made to take significant use. Our wraps are unlike some of the products on the market in that the adhesive is semi-permanent meaning that it's designed to stay put and not be removed until you want to dispose of it. So while it can't be taken off and re-applied, the benefit is that it conforms to every curve of the body and looks as though it's a part of the instrument as opposed to being more of a cling product that just sits on top of the finish. I hope this answers your questions and please feel free to contact us if you have any others. Thanks for the interest.
