Hello,

What is the best way to clean our beloved instruments ? 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

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.
