How do I clean rusty pickups???


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

What is the best way to clean up the rusty pole pieces on a pickup? And before you ask, I would never do this to one of my guitars. I got another Korean Standard recently and it arrived pretty dirty. There were even small pieces of leaves and sticks in the box. WTH? Did they store this guitar outside?

I've removed the slot head pole pieces before & then rubbed them over some micromesh sanding sheets to great success. Takes the rust & tarnish right off of em.

Of course, time will tell if the tarnish will come back quicker by doing this or not.

Naval Jelly and q-tips. A bit of lacquer or oil after your done is needed or the rust will come back. You'll be amazed at how the poles will look after 5 minutes.
