Tad, that wasn't smoke.... that was leftover mojo from being played in a bar! 😜

Home Depot sells small bags of activated charcoal. Leave a few of the bags in the case. The bags won't harm the guitar. Baking soda also absorbs odors. Sprinkle baking soda in the case and let it sit for a few days. Vacuum and repeat. As for the guitar, let it sit out in the open on a stand or hang on the wall. The smell will clear up in a few weeks. I one bought a Millennium with a bad smoke problem. These are the tactics I used.

Ask a car detailer about ozone treatment. They usually offer it as a service to get smells out of cars. Wipe the guitar down with pure naphtha first several times with clean cloth and clean naphtha each time. Then ozone it. Ammonia based cleaners like Glass Plus really cut through tobacco goo, but aren’t safe for many guitar finishes. But ok on plastics and plated metals. A semi-hollow will be hard to clean the inside, hence ozone treatment is the best option. The case will be more difficult to deodorize. All the soft materials absorb odors. Fairly easy to replace though.

Great photos! Nice 575, and that looks like a nice chill gig. What tunes did you play?
