Thinking of Sanding Neck
Thinking of Sanding Neck
It's easy and will come out great if you take your time. I've done it to 4 or 5 guitars and have been happy with the end result. Get a bunch of fresh razor blades, the type that you'd put in a box cutter. Mask off the area that you don't want to scrape with several layers of masking tape. Scrape the finish off the neck, going in the same direction, holding the blade at a 45 degree angle. <<<<<
I've kicked around this same thing. For years I thought the "Don't paint the neck" maniacs were idiots... until I just recently aquired a low end Godin SD. Wow. The back of this neck feels 10x better than my ESP Custom with the paint. The downside is the natural finish gets to feeling icky after awhile. I dunno... still going back and forth on it.
wash your hands after using the restroom.
nah, i like sanded neck feel too, but mosly i just like gfu's and zw's 'cause it shows a maple neck on an lpc, which i think gib should offer this all the time.
but i could never bring myself to sand the neck of a costly guitar. jmo tho.
i get good enough results from cleaning the neck and polishing it with guitar polish.
i like the feel of fender relic necks tho, and fender actual vintage necks except it's kinda gross all that years of human dirt ingrained in the woodgrain. yuk.
