Need help cleaning Floyd Rose

Guitar63 · #1 March 27th, 2008

I have an old Ibanez proline I took out of storage, and the floyd rose tremolo is covered in some kind of mold (small spots all over the silver parts). I tried rubbing them off with a damp cloth to no avail.

Hope somene can help.

Thanks in advance

Could be tarnish. Try a metal polish. It could also be the chrome flaking off if the floyd has been plated. In that case, there is not much you can do.

Thanks for the reply. I checked and it is flaking. The rest of the guitar is in bad shape. Guess it's time to get a new guitar.
