Re: '91 LP Studio "Yellowed"

Who was it that stuck a white guitar in a shed with like a pack of cigarettes burning in ashtrays for a month. I know Jerry Cantrell had one with burns all over it, but I wanna say it was someone else who did the "smokehouse" treatment. Dude from Enuff Znuff? Can't recall, but it came out a nice vintage yellowed color. Stunk like hell I'm sure, though.

Hmmm. I wonder if you hung one in a smokehouse and burned like hickory or some other "flavoring" woods like you would for meat?

Then again, you couldn't touch it without craving a plate of ribs :lol:

Now that's one method I didn't run across...hmm...a guitar that smells like Smoked Meat...

I have an SG standard that i bought second hand. Plays and sounds great, but it has that stale ashtray smell in it still after a two years. The original owner must have smoked like a trooper.

Yeah; that's a hard thing to get rid of...permeates the guitar.

Any of you guys think activated charcoal might soak up some of that smell if he puts it in some cheesecloth sacks inside the case with the guitar? I know it's helped get rid of the stink in an old fridge before.

Both sound like interesting idea.
