    hope it was Dove Soap

    It will be good for "droppings D" tuning

    If it's a covered PU then the quantity that might seep under the cover is very slight and i wouldn't worry at all. If it's an uncovered bobbin then if you can see 'stuff' down in the coils and they are not potted you might choose to take further action. There is a slight risk of corrosion if it's a concentrated amount left over time. If it really is saturated in there remove the PU and soak/agitate it in warm water for a while and then repeat that in distilled water and drain it off. Air dry it thoroughly over a couple of days and refit.

    Don't brag about it or it'll become the next vintage fad and I'll be asked to recreate this.

    I suppose this is the wrong thread to ask for the tab for the Jeff Beck tune Constipated Duck?

    Nothing to see now really. I can snap what's left of the bird if you like?

    Has it made the guitar lighter than a feather, or do you still need to get your claws into it?

    It's guano be a pain if you need to clean it properly. And knowing how much damage bird shit does to car paintwork, don't leave it too long before you clean it up.

    Take a peck at the undersides, or you'll be left with egg on your face when you start up with the Birdy Song at the next gig....

    Is the guitar a Gretsch Penguin?

    At least the pickup should emphasise those finched harmonics.

    Right, I'm off out...
