Do guitars and water mix?

Post by RandomRussianDude »

it seems most of you dumbasses were too busy coming up with a smartass reply rather than actually thinking about why such a question would arise.

the reason i'm asking is: you know how during some concerts you see guitarists pour water/beer (from a bottle for eg.) on themselves to cool down and then just keep on playing, or sometimes a douchebag in the crowd will throw water at you while your playing on stage? well, i just wanted to fucking know if that shit could fuck you up. i've witnessed people getting shocked with wet microphones, afterall. i'm concerned about my safety here and i'm not actually planning on getting water on my precious guitar.

shocks are usually ground problems. Especially with vintage amps with 2 prong cords.

I'm sure we all know throwing water on anything electrical isn't wise... but unless you submerge the guitar there's so little current actually running through it that while it MAY permanently damage the guitar, it's probably not going to electrocute you.
