In the Wednesday Lunch Report, the subject of cigarette smoke in guitar cases came up. As you know, a store gets a LOT of used guitars...and to say we received our fair share of smoke laddened cases is an understatement. I know my brother had a "secret" method, and he would take care of them. I didn't know what he did. So I called him at his home in the Portuguese Azores to get the answer. This is unbelievably easy and I had to ask if he was joking. So here's the solution in a nutshell. So here's what he said word for word and he swears it works!!
There is a product that I bought at Home Depot. It's a bag of volcanic rock. You put it inside the case, it absorbs the odor. When it becomes saturated, you put it in the oven on low heat & use it again. Works great!
So there's the magic answer. Now I know how all those Martin, Collings, Taylor, G&L's, Gibson, Fender, etc. cases wound up smelling A-OK!
