SteveFord Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I did this such a long time ago I forgot about it. If you have a guitar where the nitro wasn't given sufficient time to cure before they sprayed more on there: wipe the neck down with lighter fluid (naptha) use a damp cloth and apply a good coat of paste carnauba wax (I use Mother's California Gold) and let it sit for around 10 minutes use a little elbow grease when you buff it off with an old t-shirt or similar. That should do it without harming the finish. If it comes back, repeat but you probably won't have to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yes, good to know. I recall my 339 being sticky. It didn't really bother me. Since getting thumb arthritis I hardly ever touch the back of the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 I can't believe I forgot what I did to my 335 until I read it on another forum! This GOTW Explorer was driving me crazy. There's no shine like Mother's as the ad goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
