Title: Cleaning Your Guitar! Post by: Captain P?l on February 17, 2004, 01:28:57 PM got some easy tip on how to clean a guitar? do we have to use those expencive "special" oils and shit to clean it?

oh and as for how often, i clean the guitar and fretboard everytime i change my strings, then ill maybe polish the guitar a week or two later, then change my strings again in like another 2 weeks.

It makes your fingers all greasy and makes wierd squeaky sounds when you do slides.I just use some Lemon oil every few string changes to keep the fingerboard in a decent condition.
