I recently bought a goldie that was in a filthy state, but cleaned up nicely with a bit of work.
You know how strat-style knobs can get a lot of dirt stuck in them? Well an effective way I've found to clean this out very quickly (it takes literally 20 seconds per knob) is using a toothbrush and, you guessed it, toothpaste.
A word of warning though - on this occasion, I used whitening toothpaste, and remarkably it did for these knobs what it has never done for my teeth - it turned them white!
I now have a goldie with nicely aged pup covers and scrathcplate, but whiter-than-white knobs! They look brand new! It's kinda spoiled the look of the thing - I might have to buy some cream ones now!
