You can use an ink pen eraser to remove spot rust. Works great!! Don't rub too hard though. You can try a small piece of #0000 steel wool or a products called Flitz. Any one of these shoudl work.

Just a future reminder .When you finish playing and wipe down your ax dont forget the metal parts as the lack of doing this will cause the rust buildup. Some nice 80s super strats are a disaster because the floyd Rose systems are a total rusty mess.

Another flawed Fender! It used to take a dozen years before any Fender would rust. I say bring it back to where you bought it and have them replace the part! Wait, did you say it was one of the new road warn series or custom shop relic'd teles?
