A Beginner's Guide To Wonderwipes

Well, Tony's right, it does put some *pring* back in the string, and gives 'em a nice crisp feel. They smell good too.

Only thing, I got a little aggressive with them on the low E and A, and left a bit of lint, which were buggers to pull off. But I guess you're not sposed to use 'em like a shoe polish rag .

I'll try the fret board conditioner this weekend, on both maple and rosewood. Curious what kind of cleaning/conditioning action they'll have on the maple.

I get a little lint left on em too. I grab my strings in a death grip and give em a good old scrubbin' though. You get used to removing the lint pretty quickly. Give the strings a couple of seconds to dry and just blow most of the lint off.

Don't worry about that, you can still add mojo to your guitars.

Merely rub them with Mojo Juice, an expertly blended mixture of human sweat, nicotine and beer available for $39.95 from your local Fender dealer.

Or Custom Shop Signature Mojo Juice which also contains sweat and skin cells donated by famous guitarists only$99.95

If you put the words "G!bs@n Cu$t@m H!$t@ric" on the bottle, the price triples

Also, the top will not screw on properly, and most likely use a rotted cork stopper rather than a screw top or pop top. Why? Because it has to be as authentic as possible.

Sheesh. I used to want a Les Paul. Then I got some Balls. That completely changed my outlook.

Well, I wrapped the wipe around the string and sawed it, like starting a fire with a stick. Thus the lint tied around the string in a choke hold granny knot. It took a jaws of life to get it off. Well, nail clippers anyway. But seriously, they work great, and I really was too aggressive with the first two wound strings.

Couldn't wait. Just did my maple neck, front and back. I have to admit, I was bit skeptical. I mean, how good can it really be? But all I can say is "Wow! this is some serious stuff!" It did a beautiful job. Has a nicer feel when finished than lemon oil, not sticky or oily. A beautiful soft luster too.

One rosewood coming up.

Done. I'm a believer. Great stuff.

Checked them this morning to see if there was evaporation or absorption into the wood.. anything which would dry it out. Nope, looks and feels great.

Last night, while doing my rosewood board, no matter how many times I applied a wipe over the rosewood, it would absorb or dry out. I was getting pretty disappointed with the whole thing, until I realized that in my haste I'd grabbed the string cleaner Wipes. D'oh!

Hahahahaha! Nail clippers!!! Hahahaha!

That's made my day!
