I have used it on all my guitars for decades and is the best for all sorts of scuffs and pickguard scratches too - brings them back to almost new. I use Gibson polish for the everyday buff up though.

For a guitar finish which I assume is softer than car paint you could try a cutting compound. Meguiars Car polish , or at least some of their polishes is quite different from TCut, it starts off as a mild abrasive just like TCut but the more you polish it into the finish the more it breaks down getting finer and finer as you go, sometimes its good to use a little water with these types of polishes because if it dries out the process is interupted and when you reapply more polish you start all over again.
Scratches are light but quite visible when in right light -
As the guitar is in such otherwise excellent condition I'd like to try and get them out. I think I'll try T-Cut, I think it may buff them out. There's also Planet Waves Restore Detailer I found on Amazon, seems like it might be a T-Cut like thing.

Usually I'd agree, I've never been previously tempted to restore a guitar but this one is so clean it seems worth a little effort to get it like new again. This model often gets trashed or messed around with - you seldom come across a mint, cased example - it even has the original maintenance booklet.
It sounds very nice - much better than the standard model (with metal scratch plate) which I had about a year ago. Neck and esp fretboard is much better quality. In neck position it sounds very Strat like.
Do you use the Brasso liquid or the stuff in a tin that looks like cotton wool?
So - NOT THE WADDING product!!
NO
NO
YES
Like most damage on this type of finish, best left alone.
