Wenge neck cleaning/maintenance

[ilmaio]

Hi everyone, i just got an Ibanez SRXXV: it's the limited edition to celebrate the 25 years of the SR line, and it has a wenge neck and a beautiful padouk top.

The wenge of the neck looks a little dry, so i was wondering if is necessary some sort of maintenance, like lemon oil or similar products to nourish the wood?
And what about cleaning? what should i use?
Same questions about the padouk top.

Thanks in advance

I use warwick wax on my SR1205, works great.

Don't wax the wenge! Warwick wax is not intended for that, either. It's for their natural finish bodies. They'll tell you that no finish is required on a wenge neck, the oils from your palm are more than enough.

As far as cleaning a wenge neck, lemon oil will do but BE SPARING!

A little lemon oil once every 6-12 months has done well for my wenge neck and fingerboard for 12 years now.

I use this Tung Oil for all my natural finishes and fingerboards. Really awesome. The Pint will last forever.

I have used wax and never had a problem with it as long as I don't let it sit for to long.
