I don't believe I would on a guitar however. . . no science just a thought. Funny, I plan to place the jack on the front. Watching this closely. Thanks Rob...

Re: Grinder Scourer / Wire Brush

If you know someone that works around a commercial floor scrubber they have a 2/1/2" puchout in the ceter of their pads.
Two or three would do it.

Looks like a great buy from way over here :D
