Best way to clean roasted maple neck?

[rauchman]

Greetings,

One of my Warmoths has a roasted maple neck that, unlike the other 2 necks on the other 2 Warmoths I have, wasn't TruOiled, and is showing mung on the fretboard.

Recommendations on best way to clean it and remove the mung?

Naphtha and a soft cloth or paper towel.  Old tooth brush and naphtha on the frets .  be gentle.    Dry 15 mins.  Then light coat of mineral oil.  I do that once a year.

steel (the metal, not when you take things without paying) wool works good too to get grime off

Sorry to be contrarian B-Rob (or should that be Brob?) but I would not use steel wool anywhere near a guitar.  Why?  be cause the filings get stuck on the pickups and in the potentiometers.  Don't ask me how I know...

If you've a hankering for steel wool, may I suggest a non-metallic alternative.

A good non-metalic alternative to steel wool are Scotch-Brite pads.

I'm betting rubbing the frets with a paper towel that's dampened with the naphtha will do the trick.

Like sunscreen. Nobody tells u sunblock works best when you apply it to a window while indoors

Can we trust Mr B Rob on the sunscreen?

of course!  He's a noted indoor sunscreen authority figure!*















* he's actually the only indoor sunscreen authority figure - which of itself is of note

Perhaps he is from the class of 97 which would mean sunscreen is a reliable choice  :laughing7:
