To anybody who has a perpetually sticky neck, give it a shot. My hand has always stuck to gloss finishes, and any sort of factory matte finish has eventually become glossy and sticky. My main instrument is a Gibson F-5 that went for over $10k new. Whenever I play with my band outside, my hand stuck to it like glue. My answer to that:

Re: Scotch-brite'ing the neck
I didn't take any pics of the before, sorry. On the necks that are only clear-coated, the difference is nearly impossible to photograph, so here are a couple of shots of the colored necks. You can see the difference on the Gretsch very clearly. One the Danelectro, it's a little harder to spot. These were both done with the maroon, and not gently.

Any before/after photos?---------------------------
The most popular thread I've ever made was 1) a joke and 2) based around literally the most inane/mundane question I could think of. That says something about me, or all of you, or both.

Re: Scotch-brite'ing the neck
Yeah, I was muuuch more gentle on the Tribute-series LP, which only has a thin coat of nitro. I could tell immediately that I could easily just sand right through that. It came with a satin finish, anyway, but my hand had rubbed it to a slight sheen. Which I expect will happen again, with all of these. But now that I know how easy it is to fix, no worries.

Re: Scotch-brite'ing the neck
I didn't even see this post before posting mine. The green Scotch Brite worked wonders on the body, better on the back than the front, but I like it.
It was suggested on another forum to go over the body with turtle wax/scratch remover, which I'm not fussed about right now because I have to put the guitar back together first.
