I would add some tung oil to the bare area just to give it a protective coat.

I paint for a living. You can use 800 grit dry. You worried about trsale, dont, it can be buffed back to shiney. I personally don't tape but to each his own.

I've done 7 of my guitars with very fine sandpaper and then cleaned the neck and used Tung oil to seal the wood again and leaves that natural feel. I just clean and reapply the oil when they need it.

If you have a neck with stained lacquer, you can use 2000 or 1500 grit and just sand lightly until the shine of the gloss goes but the colour isn't removed. I don't suffer from Sticky Neck Syndrome personally but I did have a 'Satin' finished neck that had a rough feel and a couple of 'bumpy' patches from the factory. 2000 grit dry solved that and left the neck feeling Much smoother, while at the same time leaving the wood still sealed.

Yeah, just copy it exactly the way I did in the video. You won’t have to mess around with all the steel wool shavings and them sticking to your pick ups. You can seriously do the whole process in about 10 minutes. Ha ha let me know how it goes and thanks, my friend.

Hey, great video! I just done it on my guitar, same model as yours but faded blue :P did you use any lemon oil or anything on the neck after sanding? should I use or doesn't matter?
@mrelmoresmusiclabАй бұрын
That’s awesome, I did use a little lemon oil after I did it. You don’t have to feel great. Have fun with your guitar. There are such great instruments. Check out the PRS DTG se as well. I just got that guitar and it’s amazing as well. The neck doesn’t feel as sticky on that one for some reason.
@orryfishburne53262 ай бұрын
I might try this on the fret board to my Player series Tele. It's a maple neck that has a thick coat of poly on the fretboard that drives me crazy. The back of the neck is a nice satin though.
@mrelmoresmusiclab2 ай бұрын
Yes, you could probably do it on your fretboard with ease. If you use the pad that I used, it would probably do nothing more than polish your frets at the same time. Satin necks are the best. Yeah I really wish they would just leave the fretboards alone. Never any reason to put any coat of anything on them. Ha ha.

I do prefer the feel of a satin neck, but have never had any issues with a gloss neck either. I can't really work out how players are gripping the neck for a 'sticky' gloss neck to be a problem. If I'm moving between positions on the neck, I let go of the neck with minimal contact on the strings and neck as I slide to the next position. How are people dragging their hand across the back of the neck with enough contact and pressure for it to be 'sticky'?
@mrelmoresmusiclab2 ай бұрын
Great questions. So...I do have another tele with a gloss neck on that one. The main problem with the PRS was the humidity level of where I was playing it. It was like a deal breaker or anything, it was just a tad to sticky in hotter situations, so I decided to get rid of it. But, I think if I were just playing it alone in my studio, I could have gotten along with it better. I'm pretty picky about my gear in a live performance situation. Hope that makes sense.

Would you also do something like this to a nitro finish? I have les Paul standard whose neck is really sticky, but I’m too nervous to do something like this myself
@mrelmoresmusiclab2 ай бұрын
That’s a great question. I have a nitro finish on my Les Paul special but I personally don’t find that neck to be too sticky. You could probably do it easily to a nitro as well. I would definitely do some research and just see if you find anything about a nitro finish. I will say that this is super easy and you don’t have to even do much sanding to get the finish off.

I would NEVER buy a guitar without a full gloss finish, including the neck. I've been playing 50 years. This satin neck bollocks is just that, BOLLOCKS, like bone nuts and tone wood. A recent affectation that's been adopted by morons that haven't heard of the Emperor's new clothes. Sticky neck? What utter crap.

I have tele with a gloss neck that is just fine. This gloss on the PRS was too much. I really prefer a stripped down neck, but I guess it's all just personal preference. Rock the guitar any way you like. :) If you dig the feel of a glossy neck, than go with it.

@@twoshedsjackson6478 You're coming in pretty hot here! Nobody is saying you can't have your gloss neck. And satin necks are definitely not a recent fad as you suggest. I have satin neck basses and guitars that I got 20 years ago, and it was a very old and established option back then.
