  • Advantage and problems of a sanded neck

    Hi i was wondering about the resulting problems of a sanded neck...
    my Fusion plus neck starts to show some rough areas cause of the finish is gone.
    my doubt is: this do affect in something the stability and straightness of the neck? because of been exposed to hand sweat
    maybe im a bit hipocondriac... but you know.
    do you care about your babe?
    hahaha
    thanks.

    You could just refinish the neck with Tru oil. It is pretty simple to do.

      A coat of wipe-on poly will work, too. I would not leave maple bare on something I actually cared about.

        or you could sand down the whole back and oil it with Fret Doctor.

            Sand it with what grit !! Could that scratch the rosewood ? Or the little marker dots ! Also i can feel the edge wear the fret board meets the neck on the bass side!! Like i need to sand the neck alittle there ?? And the scarf joint has a little feel to it also !! I dont want to tackle it without some input first !!

              No. Don't use that stuff on the back of the neck. Use tru-oil (gunstock oil), or danish oil, or boiled linseed oil, or tung oil. Haven't tried fret doctor yet, but I've heard some good things about it for fretboards.

                Sand with 400 grit, then buff it smooth with steel wool, then apply oil.
