Ozone. I had a Super 400 that had been trapped for 20 years with a

about the finish a little (but this was when Super 400's were about
$2K) but it didn't hurt it. I think you can rent them--ozone
generators, not Super 400's..


I'd read this EPA fact sheet before messing around with ozone
generators; ozone is hazardous to your health:

Yeah, you don't want it indoors where you can breathe it. Just set your
guitar outside next to the freeway onramp.
