Ok, I have a Gibson Gothic V. There was a fracture right where the headstock meets the neck.
The fracture didn't go all the way through. I got it fixed by a local guy who usually does great work.
Well, ever since getting it back, the back of the neck has been a bit sticky, it would have little bits of red fibers on the neck from sitting in its case.
So I decided to try to take off a bit of paint and tung oil the neck to make it feel smoother. Well, when i started to sand the neck, that's when it got really bad and it seems like the more I sand the goopier it gets. So, now I don't know what to do. Should I just keep sanding to bare wood? Will that mess up the repair? Can I tung oil it after this? Should I find a pro to fix it?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
