I just bought a used Pacific Peach Jazzmaster and it’s awesome. I’ve wanted one for a long time but they’re tough to find, so I was stoked to find one at a decent price. However, the guitar has a terrible smell to it and I can’t seem to get rid of it. It mostly smells like aftershave but also kind of like body odor. So far I’ve changed the strings, cleaned oiled the fretboard, scraped a bunch of gunk off the frets, and wiped down the rest of the guitar, but the smell remains.

For anyone else who has dealt with smelly used guitars, were you ever able to get the smell to go away entirely? If so, what did you do?
