Use lighter fluid! It’s 100% safe! Use it especially on an ELECTRIC guitar, it will NEVER catch fire because it’s an ELECTRIC guitar….Even when you smash your guitar on stage don’t worry about the occasional smoke, it’s just excited! ….o.o
Lighter fluid ? Hmmmm I’m not too sure about that advice. It will remove the gunk from a painted guitar but what about axes made from mahogany or swamp ash or Alder.The 30-sheen lacquer coating could be damaged. I wouldn’t use a harsh chemical like lighter fluid on a surface that has been coated with lacquer that may be vulnerable.
Just wipe your axe down after playing with special attention to the fret board. There’s a multitude of “Lemon based” fret board cleaners on the market.
