the problem is she had left it outside for days and all of the pickups and screws were crusted with rust!!!(guitar still played fine but looked like crap)

i tried simple rubbing the rust off but it didnt work... so smart me i sprayed a dab of wd 40 on all rusted parts of the guitar!!

IT WORKED the rust was gone!!!......but now my guitar reeks of wd 40 i can't get the smelll to go away no matter how many times i rub it down , and i'm afraid when i put the strings on the strings will be ruined by the left over wd 40(which i can't get to come off)

any help is greatly appreciated ( i hope i didnt ruin my guitar!!!)]]> Guitar Players Discussion chaisewilson https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-guitar-please-help/#post-26963
