Since I do not know precisely the types of finish used on my 2 Alembic, I thought it was a good idea to post here before doing mistakes. I always cleaned my guitars after playing sessions with a slighly wet cloth. It was for me the best way to keep them in good shape. I recently purchased an used EPIC 4 from 1996 and I found that the back of the neck was quite "sticky" even after a "wet cloth wash". I even tried to use soap to remove the greasy parts. Still sticky... I hope there is no problem with the finish. What would be the best way to get a smooth a,d clean finish ? More generally, any tips to clean my 2 Alembic (fretboard, neck, HS, body...etc..) ? Thanks in advance, Antoine (Message edited by antoine on April 24, 2011) artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1478 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Sunday, April 24, 2011 - 7:24 am:    Antoine, Finish Care and Oiling your Fingerboard should help with your questions. There are also many other helpful tips in the main thread Information Related to All Instruments.
