Question All rosewood neck maintenance (owners input appreciated)

[Gravesend Black]

Hi guys.

As you may remember I've bought a beautiful rosewood BFR SR5HH recently. After that I've faced some troubles with that rosewood neck and went to the luthier. As the result we had to sand the fb a bit cuz it was bumpy and the neck did not want to bend properly. The neck appeared surprisingly caprisious so I had to get my SR5 for a couple of weeks and then return to the luthier again to tune it up. Luckily the neck became much more obedient and everything is allright now. But the luthier strongly recommended me to visit him again in a couple of months to check the neck behaviour.

Did anyone of you guys experienced such troubles with your rosewood necks?)


Oh yeah. Should I apply some wonder wipes to moisturize the fb after sanding?

The answer to that would be yes. After sanding clean the fb thoroughly with wonder wipes or an equivalent conditioner.

I've had three of the solid rosewood necks and they were all super stable and felt great. I used the fingerboard wonder wipes on them about once a year, no problems at all.

Agree for wonder wipes, ...if they work fine for rw fb, why not for whole rw neck?
