Topic: Clean Up

Hi all, I have an old Hondo Hummingbird that plays great, the binding on the fret board and around the body is faded and yellowing, any
product or cleaning solution I can use to get it white again?   



thanks,   badeye.     cool

Re: Clean Up

Badeye,

Folks work for years to get them to look like that, I think it should stay yellow. Them's battle scars and Character smile

Re: Clean Up

Ok, I see, yellow it stays.   I bought this guitar in a pawn shop for 50 dollars canadian. Its  1978 model and one of the last one produced by Hondo before Gibson bought the company out. Actually I wanted to buy the guitar case it was in and the guy threw in the guitar. It was real dirty with two strings on it. What a surprise when cleaned up and restrung. Its a gem for sure.

Thanks for the response..
