neck finish- going from gloss to satin

[Pbman]

I have a Fender RB4 with a glossneck finish. Is there a safe way to get a satin feel? The glossy at times is sticky

Ditto.

ScotchBrite pads (or the generic equivalent) work as well as #0000 steel wool but without the mess (steel threads stuck to the pups). Use a light touch! FWIW, ScotchBrite pads work even better on oil-finished, open-grain woods like wenge and purpleheart.
