I had this problem on my DeArmonds today. I used steel wool a few days ago in the same room. Noticed the DeArmonds (T-Armonds actually) were covered in shavings. I tried masking tape first, but I ended up buffing them off with 10,000 grit sand paper as I was sanding and buffing the guitar to restore it.
In my experience the 3M 0000 Scotchbrite is non-magnetic, its nylon embedded with abrasive. Never hurts to tape over the pickups anyway but Id be surprised if you find residue after.
@@rabidhamster literally right after I watched your video I went on Amazon and bought some, I didn’t know there was an alternative to metal sponges, seems pretty underground! Thanks for sharing that tidbit in the video and sweet guitar
I use compressed air to blow it out. A can works too, but be careful you dont get vapor on your pickups.

Good stuff
So is scotchbrite not magnetic?
