Pick Dust
Pick Dust
What picks do you use? Chalk ones?
If you don't keep your guitars in cases when they're not being played, it might just be normal dust. On the pickups and under the strings tends to gather the most, since its a hard to reach area to clean when strings are on. This is always an annoyance to me...my black guitars get very dusty very quickly and my on white guitar dirt shows up really easily...
Oiling the fretboard too much can leave a filmy residue on the fretboard which makes it look a bit duller...
I only oil the board on a new purchase or if I think the board is looking a bit dry or light in colour. I think over the past couple of years, I've only oiled the fretboard once or twice on all my guitars.
That is why Kirk wears tape on his hand. He actually has the tape turned sticky-side out to catch the pick dust before it hits the pick-ups. This has been his secret for years and is really quite innovative....:hat
LOL, that's awesome.
But yeah, maybe just get some new picks? I use green Dunlop tortexes and I've never had a problem with those flaking off... really doesn't sound like a big deal though, I would just wipe it off when changing strings.
To the guy who suggested using a brush... just curious, do you actually keep a cleaning brush on hand when you play guitar so that it won't get dusty? :|
Part of what you may think of as pick dust is likely skin cells...
dude! thats would be an assload of skin cells. You can't see epithelial cell when they slough off. I mean... you can see dead skin, but not the cells.
Unless they are a very large group of them... hmm... I dunno. Sounds strange.
I do not have this dust problem you speak of.
Dust really made my skin very dry. I was on the vacation to Rajasthan last week. It was a beautiful place but also it made my skin dry and rough. Now I checked the clean 15 list and trying to applying it. Someone told me it will help to improve my skin and make it glowing. If anyone can tell me the best treatment for this the please let me know. I will be very glad.
