Lol....darn auto correct.....texting in the dark outside on the farm......too many excuses!


Edited....PIGS and corn...
 
Looks like the wood suppliers for Lakland are behind a lot... Got word that I'll be expecting in December, though!

Same deal for the shortie neck I ordered, the wood supplier was behind.

And speculations on what happens with these wood people? I'm curious!

Seems like the running theme with custom builders right now... I have had a bass on order with another company since January and it just got to paint. They blamed the wood provider...

Wood supply is a weird thing......not very stable these days...especially for instrument and high quality furniture wood.

Then....when the wood DOES come in.. .the factories get backed up processing it....it all trickles down.....and we gave to wait and wait.
 
I imagine its as simple as "sand neck with scotch brite, rub in oil", but I largely would like tips from those who have done it. Specifically, how much time did you spend with the scotch bright, and are you just looking to remove the satin finish on the neck...etc.

I've actually done this but minus the orange oil. I just use 1200 grit to break the gloss off of my glossy necks and just left it as is but, I am still curious to hear what others are doing. :)

I also used 1200 grit. Works great. The neck is smooth as silk.
Many years ago a guitar tech turned me on to using slide & valve oil.
It is a super fine oil made for lubricating trombone and trumpet valves. It's great because it wipes off dry and will not attract dirt or get gummy.
It also works wonders for conditioning rosewood and ebony fingerboards.

I was planning on using Howard's Feed N Wax, which is what a lot of the Warwick users have turned to since its so hard to get the Warwick Bees Wax
