Shellac or tongue oil is excellent as a sealer protectant/finish on bare necks.
Musikraft does this on their necks.

I clean my rosewood fretboards with Murphys Oil Soap in a 50/50 solution and it works better than anything else I've tried and leaves the neck super clean and ready for the oil. Then I use fret doctor on the rosewood. It also works better than anything else I've tried in 35 years, and I've tried everything else, believe it. Don't listen to skeptics concerning fret Dr.

Cleaned the Fret Board with Murphys Oil Soap and followed up with 2 coats of Birchwood Gunstock Oil and it cleaned-up/Looks GREAT!

Also another question, the back pickup seems to be (I wont say LOOSE) but feels like it's mounted on Rubber.
Kinda moves a little when touched. It doesnt move out of place, it just has some "give" to it.
Is this normal?

I also saw why my Toggle Cap fell off.
It looks like the Threaded part of the switch has broken off, only leaving a coulpe of threads.
So I just plab to have the whole swith replaced when I take it in to be set-up.

I bought the "Dunlop Guitar Cleaning Kit" with the Cleaner and Carnuba Way.

I'll be cleaning the Body today, but I was wondering,
if it was OK to use this on the BACK of the Neck?

Instructions say you can use it daily because there's "No Wax Buildup",
so I was assuming it was safe to use it to Polish up the BACK of the Neck.

Anyone???
