  • Guitar cleaning for fretboard and body

    Hey all, I'm looking to buy some stuff to clean my soloist with. What would you recommend for the following...

    To clean the body and neck (neck is painted)

    For the finger board (something to oil it with as well)

    Anything else you would recommend?

    Thanks in advance

                I was just fuckin around man.make no nevermind.
                I waxed my Black KV, only because black shows everything and I wanted to get some of the swirl marks out of it. I waxed it when I first built it.
                That's the only one that I've done that too.

                I'd be careful with the wax on a built guitar, because it gets into the crevices and it's hard to get out of certain places, so if you do i'd say to use it sparingly and apply it with a small cotton swab or Q-tip or something similar.

                Maybe someone else has more experience and has better tips to help you out?

                  Just got done polishing the frets and applying some Fret Doctor on a 94' Dinky Reverse I just picked up. This Fret Doctor stuff is really great.
