Guitar is my seventh instrument, so I'm still learning things about it (probably will learn for the rest of my life - that's a good thing).

I've been playing 3 days per week, in a beach resort, outdoors, but under a big canvas cover.

So the combination of playing with short sleeves, high afternoon temperatures, Italian skin, a little perspiration, and some dust in the air is starting to make the guitar dirty where my arm rests on it while playing.

The guitar is unpainted. I believe it's a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, because when new, it smelled like vanilla.

For the guitarists on the list, what should I use to clean it?

Here is what it looked like new.



I don't have any recent pictures. I've worn some of the lacquer off from picking, and there is a little rust on the pickup poles. Playing in the salt are rusts everything. I have new tuners for it, but as long as I'm on the beach, there is no sense replacing them.

Thanks,
Notes
