Use a "used" scourer from Scotchbrite type washing up sponge. Use it dry.

Otherwise, careful use of >1200 grit paper. 0000 grade wire wool is ok, but you need to go carefully.

Don't go down through the lacquer. You can polish it back up with bees wax, to make it gloss again. The abrasion will have roughed the surface and stopped the friction - which is what you're after.

+1 for washing up sponge. Used them (rough side) before and worked brilliantly, also cut them up and used under pickups instead of foam, and if you have flatwounds, I've also put them (sponge side up) under the strings next to the bridge to dampen the sound for old school thump!

Love it, is there any end to the uses of a scouring sponge :)
