Anyway, the guitar is looking pretty darn good if I say so myself, and I'm going to start the more mechanical work tomorrow.

A Major thanks to you who replied; you're a good welcoming party.

Could be string action / neck adjustment issues. A good setup might fix things.

I just use good furniture polish to clean my guitars but they do sell comercially made stuff just for guitars in music stores. (It's expensive) I use lemon oil on my fingerboards. (It's really lemon scented mineral oil) It's made for wood. A fellow here called Ricochet uses olive oil and I have tried it. It works well. Again, there are special products available at music stores.

Oh yeah ...... welcome to Guitar Noise! :D]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-cleaning-tune-up/#post-266462 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-cleaning-tune-up/#post-28296 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 17:10:53 +0000
What is a good cleaner for the body of the guitar, the fretboard, and even the pickups.

And another thing.. this is more of a problem. I couldn't find a "repair" section to post this in, but maybe I'm just blind.

Whenever I hit any note higher than the 12th fret (13th fret and up) on my B and high E strings, the sound is dead. I think it may be because the strings are too tight; but I've changed them many times and always come out with this same problem. I play an ESP EC-50 with the tune-o-matic style bridge and stopbar tailpiece.

Thank you all for your help, and sorry to the administrators if I posted this in the wrong spot. Don't kill me. :)
