Thank you! I agree completely. There is something to that maple neck, never mind the fact that it's super comfortable too. I do have to hit the back of mine with steel wool again just because it gets sticky in spots, but probably a third of the finish is gone off the back of it. It's also "light" at like 9lbs 15oz, LOL.
I love your tobacco one... looks amazing!!
I just played six shows with my 1980 a week or so ago and its finish also gets a little sticky and hazy. My sweat just soaks right into the finish and doesn’t wipe off very well and some spots not at all, until the next day when it’s had time to dry, some of it comes out. First time I’ve ever dealt with that on any nitro finish. So far a combination of virtuoso cleaner and music nomad one polish seems to clean it back up the best and remove all the sweat stains. The virtuoso polish just smeared and made it worse for whatever reason. I don’t trust my novice luthier skills to be taking any sandpaper or steel wool to a finish.
