Well if you are really into photography then you probably already know about these things. What am I talking about? A Giottos Rocket is a handheld air blaster mainly used for blowing dust off camera lenses without actually touching them.
Why am I bringing this up? Well, I found that little bugger is also good for blowing loose dust off guitars very quickly. Out from under the bridge and tailpiece, off the headstock, out from the F-holes, etc, anywhere that is otherwise a bit hard to get to.
Pumping it is kind of like one of those blood pressure pumps, but looks cool like a 50's science fiction rocket.
Well it's only twelve bucks and you can just stand it up and grab it to blow off loose dust. No need to pump up a big air tank. No batteries to change, nothing to plug in.
Oh well, Just a little tip you might be interested in. Guitar people wouldn't normally know about these little things.
Just don't try to pack it into your carry on bag if your are flying. they say it looks like a bomb. :/
