Re: Gibby Sticky neck
wipe it down and use your preferred instrument polish. my other guitarist uses a les paul so he deals with the painted neck thing too

I found mine was sticky for awhile, and people told me to polish it. Luckily I'm lazy and I didn't, because its now built up a solid base of grime over the finish to the point where it feels smooth. Either that or the finish has finally cured completely.

I used Virtuoso Cleaner, leaving it on for 20 minutes and then wiping it off; followed by a second appllication.
I finished up with two coats of Virtuoso POLISH.
No more sticky neck on my 2006 Gloss '58 Historic Les Paul.
Virtuoso is good stuff.

Sometimes a Gibson neck takes a little time to totally cure. It usually works itself out.
They can also get kind of grimy, so a little polish or lemon oil and a polishing cloth will get it back to glass-like smoothness with some elbow grease. Eventually you'll need to do that less and less.
My ES-137s neck still gets a little tacky after about 45 minutes of playing, but it's getting better.

Thanks for all the information guys. I think i will try the virtuoso cleaner first if its didnt work maybe to rub the finish with fine sandwool.

The Virtuoso stuff is excellent and will do the job.

Get the cleaner and the polish. You won't regret it. :fing2:
