Every time I play my acoustic guitar it turns my finger tips green on my left hand. Does anyone else have this? What is the cause?

It only happens on my acoustic guitar. My electric never does it.

maybe you take alot of LSD before you play regardless I'd say fret board problem, I'm allergic to some woods and if I get so much as a little sliver it causes green pus but I mean not green finger tips

I think it is is either what ever kind of strings you use, or something with yer fretboard. As Pusher said, maybe you're allergic to your wood ;p

That's a vintage Gibson Les Paul? It was a Le' Paulo, and it turned my fingers green!
