    Wet Guitar
    I was walking in my backyard when my brother dropped a large cup of water on me - I happened to be holding my guitar. Some spray got inside, and a lot covered the outer body. I quickly dried it off as much as I could - do you think there could be any lasting damage? If so, my brother will repay me

    Fondly,
    Nat

    Dear Nat,

    The fact that you wiped the water off right away is a good thing.

    If the body of the back or front of your guitar starts to change shape, i.e. warp, then you have some permanent damage. If that does not happen, then your guitar should be fine.

    There could be rusting of metal parts that might happen. If that does not happen within a few days - then no problem.

    Your guitar should be fine as long as were not talking about an electric guitar if so do not plug it in it could shock i.e.. killyou! Get out your hair dryer and on low heat dry it until it looks dry than put it in a dry vented place ,not in the case for a day or to it should be fine then rock on tallgrass:cool:
