Wow I cleaned the fret board with a razor blade to smooth, cleaned it up , adjusted the action, tremolo, and inotation and It plays sweet. I havent hardly touched my L.P. since ive got this one! lol. Im loving it. from what I understand most of the tremolo's on cheaper strats and copys have wimpy trems blocks on them . I have to say this one is freakin huge! very heavy. What is a good treatment to put on the neck (fretboard)?

Light coat of lemon oil works great and so does fast Fret stick but prefer lemon oil in small amounts especiall on the rosewood.

I love this guitar, how can you not , yaknow! lol. Im wondering if I should up grade the three singles and shield the cavities ? If so any suggestions on the pups?

I use a very small amount of boiled linseed oil - I start at the nut and by the time I get to the bridge end I go back and wipe it off. If the neck is really dried out, I'll do that every couple days for about a week. I think it does make a difference.

I will try it out Im sure it could use it.

I use stuff called Lizardspit which is very good, but also have lemon oil on hand; as long as the wood is oiled, I think the oil is a matter of personal preference.

If you like the sound it has now, why change? And unless it's humming really badly, then sheilding the pup cavities probably won't help; checking the solder joints and earth wiring may yield more profitable results.....

yeah corsair I do like the sound a lot just seems noisy. my granddaughter was crying and it was coming through the pups and amp really weird. Is that normal? I really don't have a lot of experience as I'm a beginner. If I change them I was planning on keeping the originals. hmmmmmn wonder if I could fix them? There's a ground wire off that goes to the spring bracket for the trem, could this cause the noise.

Bingo
