I like this stuff a lot! http://www.gaiam.com/product/eco-home-o ... +begone.do It is clear and odorless. It truly does eliminate odors. Great with cooking odors too. |

I would give baking soda a try. It's a good odor eater, dry and inexpensive. You can sprinkle it into the guitar case and leave it closed for a few days. The guitar can be kept in the case also. With the price of baking soda you can repeat the process a number of times and vacuum up between doses. |

Crumbled up newspaper does a pretty good job too! I had a case that somebody spilled a huge coffee into. I never tried the newspaper, though, because it was all plastic with a styrofoam core and synthetic fur....I just soaked and hosed it out! Worked Great! Not recommended for wood bodied cases! |

Someone posted on the OLF a couple of years ago that they had a guitar in for repair that someone had vomited inside of.......... If I recall correctly it was the chunky variety and a near perfect hit on the sound hole...... I would try to search for the thread but I have to go get some ice cream........

I'm pretty sure hanging a clove of garlic on the inside would help. Not so good for the werewolves though. |

Put ur dirty socks and undies in the case for a few days, that oughta do it ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") If that don't work, I would try the carb soda, it works a trick. Another thing to try is to sprinkle some of that dry carpet cleaning/odour removing powder into the lining, leave it for a while and then vacuum it out again. Cheers Kim |
