Cleaning Hardware on Chet Atkins SST


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am back home over the holidays and pulled my SST (http://www.guitar.com.au/guitars/electric/gibson/SST.html) out of its case and noticed the gold plated piece on the body that covers the Volume/Treble/Bass controls is somewhat rusted/corroded.

 

I went by Sam Ash, and the best they could recommend was this "Music Nomad Acid Free Cymbal Cleaner." (http://www.musicnomadcare.com/cymbalcleaner.html)

 

My only concern is that is is for bronze cymbals. Is it safe to use? Does anyone have recommendations for cleaning the hardware? Thanks!

I used Flitz polish at work, it works real well and it is not abrasive at all that I could tell. You'll want to use something not abrasive, almost like a syrup consistency. I have the same guitar and my plate is in the same condition, a bit oxidized. I haven't gotten around to polishing it.

Hey guys

 

Can anybody recommend what works best with regards to cleaning your exhaust pipe, something that can make it shine and take off all the marks

 

I assume that the same products mentioned above would work on your chrome exhaust pipe tips. Otherwise, get a can of Never Dull....

 

Use a wad of that on your exhaust pipe and even shine the balls on your brass monkey.... [scared]
