farmer61 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 My MM Stingray is suffering from rusty screws on the pick guard and also there is a hint of it (I think) on the bridge, I guess the screws can be replaced, but any great tips on how to clean it up? I think it may have come from the string cleaning spray I use??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Try soaking the screws in diet coke (cheap stuff'll do) for a few hours. Rinse and dry thoroughly before putting them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
