Sticky acoustic's neck

Hey.

I got kinda sticky neck. Is this the best way if i use steel wool to wipe that finish off?

Before you go steel-wooling anything I would recommend you wipe the guitar with a rag and if possible some fretboard conditioner or cleaner. Just make sure not to over apply.

I have found what works the best for me is 0000 steel wool, lightly. Just a few passes at a time. Then I spray some finger-ease on the back of the neck and rub it back and forth until it is nice and smooth, soft, and fast. There have been some guitars that I have had to do this to several times to get just right. Remember there is no going back after you have done it though. YMMV.

Nothing like a little contradiction to confoozle the OP.

Well for clarification..........I would try fretboard's advice first.... I thought that it would go without saying that you should try the non-permanent method first.
