Hi all, I've just bought an used Music Man JP15 - Sahara Burst Flame
Wondering if you could help me to a few things regarding cleaning, maintaining this guitar.
I have share a few photos here, and I also have one regarding the photos.
If you check the neck one close to the bolt-on neck area, it looks like it lacks of oil/wax, it's very apparent, shall I do the oil/wax here then? I put a red circle there.
Thanks a lot for any tips - so far, really nice guitar BTW
Wondering if you could help me to a few things regarding cleaning, maintaining this guitar.
- Regarding the back of the neck — I’m okay with it; I’ve seen a lot of things about using oil, wax, etc.
- Now, based on point 1, am I right to think it has the same finish? So, in case I need to, I should apply the same oil treatment on the maple fingerboard?
- About the body — it doesn’t have the high-gloss polyester finish like the Sabre (which I have, for example). It looks like it’s only oiled, I believe it's Satin — not sure, but definitely not high gloss. So, how can I clean this body? Can I use carnauba, for instance? And for regular maintenance, say weekly — what’s the best way to clean it?
- What would be the best way to clean the fingerboard when changing strings? Is there any specific product you recommend as it seems to have the same oil/wax process - so in a good way "unfinished"
