My Les Paul has been out of commission for longer than I care to admit, I decided to take it into a luthier. I was noodling around on it the morning I brought it in and I noticed that the neck was really sticky.
It was so bad I actually checked to see if there was some dirt or sticky gunk that had gotten into the case, so I gave it a few wipes with a rag and came to the conclusion there was not.
I did some googling and it sounds like this can happen to nitro finishes after extended time in a case. Some people report just leaving the guitar out and playing it will fix the issue. Others recommend scotch brite pads or 000 steel wool.
What do you think would be the best course of action?
Thanks!
