I was looking at this on the MM site, and they give you instructions on how to clean and take care of your fretboard. I'd like to find a good oil soap to clean unfinished necks, but don't really know what I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

The video distinctly recommends to use oil soap for the back of the neck.

So make a recommendation, smart guy..:p

I hadn't seen the video. I'm just saying that the Wonder Wipes work on my SR5 for both sides of the neck...but I haven't let it get to the point where it needs more than that.

The soap in the video is Murphy Oil Soap...

Ww

I have both products and a maple neck/board
I'm with M on this one, I have only used WW on the neck and fretboard and have no worries.

Birchwood Casey Gun Stock oil, by far the Best for the Back of all Necks.:D

Yeah, yeah I know... my problem is:

a) not being a native English speaker, I have no clue what oil soap translates to into cleaning products in my little tight corner of the world...

b) I have no idea what oil soap products are available in your corner of the world either!

But, hey, thanks for that info. It might helpt to track down similar products by other vendors which are available around here. :D
